Foodbank Signs Agreement With Sousa Group

In Search of Hope – by Sam Gannon

Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

The Food Bank of Madeira and the Sousa Group signed a new cooperation protocol today, Tuesday, the 8th of April.

This protocol between the Sousa Group and the Food Bank of Madeira represents a common purpose of continuing the partnership established, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2, SDG 10, and SDG 17), through the provision of logistical support in the transportation of food products from the mainland and paper, as part of their Food Bank and Paper for Food Campaigns. This partnership celebrates its 12th anniversary this year.

The new cooperation protocol will allow the Sousa Group to support the Madeira Food Bank in the transport of around 90 tonnes of food from mainland Portugal, namely donations from national companies, the Food Emergency Network, and campaigns promoted in Madeira, such as the Paper for Food Campaign and the Online Campaign, which supports 48 partner institutions, who look after 8,700 beneficiaries on the islands of Madeira and Porto Santo.
