A care home in Yeovil has launched a new scheme to support people in need.

Potter House has set up a donation drop-off point for The Local Pantry at St Peter’s Community Centre, collecting non-perishable food and essential household items for people in need.

Merle Redwood, a resident at the care home, said: "This is a great idea because the prices are too high at the moment.

"It will be good to help people who don’t have the same as we have had.

"Any way we can help, we would like to be involved."

The general manager at Potter House said: "Community is so important to everyone at Potter House, and helping this incredible community centre allows us to give something back."

Donations can be dropped off at any time at Potter House, on Highfield Road in Yeovil.
