GULLIVER’S World is offering discounted tickets for one weekend only to help collect food for The Trussell Trust.

The Trussell Trust has a network of more than 1,300 food bank centres across the UK, helping provide a minimum of three days’ worth of emergency food for those in need.

“Sadly, food banks are now a necessity within society, helping those who are facing hardship and who need support,” said Craig Clews, resort director at Gulliver’s World in Old Hall.

“The work The Trussell Trust does is vital in reducing the impact of hardship on those members of the community who have fallen on difficult times.

“We are pleased to be able to play our part in assisting the charity and help raise its profile.”

The theme park will be holding its Food Bank Weekend on May 18 and 19, when tickets will only be £14 per person when each guest brings a non-perishable item of food to donate.

Examples of food that can be donated include tinned fruit, small jars of coffee, long life milk and cream crackers.
