Clever Clogs Day Nursery supports County Durham Food Bank

A COUNTY Durham nursery has donated enough products to County Durham Food Bank to provide 135 meals for those who need help most.

Clever Clogs Day Nursery in Belmont organised the collection as part of International Day of Families. Over the past few weeks the nursery has been collecting non-perishable foods, including tinned fruit and vegetables, noodles, pasta, rice, cereals, chocolate spread and cartons of milk.

Toiletries for babies, children and adults were also collected. Donations were made by parents, carers and staff, with all food going to County Durham Food Bank to feed families from across the area.

Nursery manager Donna Green said: “We were overwhelmed at the generosity shown by our parents, carers and staff.

“The children from all the rooms helped us pack up the crates to take the collected items to the food bank, and some of the older ones came with us to deliver all the food, drinks, toiletries and baby essentials.

“It was a lovely experience for them and they were given a certificate in recognition of our support. The food bank told us that because of our help we have provided enough food to make 135 meals for people who need it most.

“Your support really has made a difference to our community and I’d like to thank everyone who helped us. It means so much.”

In 2025 County Durham Food Bank provided early 12,000 people in crisis with enough food to last them for three days.
