00:00OK, then Ruby, what did you bring in for the food man?
00:21I brought in some treats and sweets.
00:26Why do you think it's important to help other people?
00:28I think it's important to help other people so they don't starve and they're happy.
00:34And Charlie, what did you bring in?
00:36I brought in, I'm pretty sure it was two tins of food.
00:40How does it make you feel seeing all the food which the children have brought in?
00:44Happy.
00:46And Elliot, what did you bring in?
00:48I forgot what I brought in.
00:50It was beans, wasn't it? You said you bring beans in?
00:52Beans.
00:53And why do you think it's important to help other people?
00:55I think it's important to help other people so they don't die to starvation and so they don't miss breakfast.
01:05Is that what the beans are for, the breakfast?
01:07Yeah.
01:26OK, and Mrs Hampson, why were the schools so keen to get involved in the initiative supporting the local food bank?
01:34I think it's because it's all part of their local community and they see boxes in supermarkets like Sainsbury's advertising for the food bank and it's just nice that they can do something themselves.
01:46And Lisa, how impressed are you of all the food the kids have brought in?
01:49Very impressed. I would like to say thank you to St Joseph's and to the children and to the adults and to the teachers for their contribution this year.
02:01It's been overwhelming and it will be going to clients who are in desperate need of it.
02:08And just how much of a need is there at the moment for this sort of support?
02:11There is a lot of need. A lot of clients come in, all times of the year especially, and they do need food.
