Honda donates £36,000 to three charities in a bid to tackle food poverty Three Swindon charities have been given a boost in a bid to tackle food poverty. Swindon Food Collective, Big Breakfast Plus and Swindon Night Shelter have all received a £12,000 donation from car manufacturer Honda. Each year, Honda treats its 3000-strong work force to a festive meal ahead of the factory’s Christmas shutdown. However, with Covid-19 restrictions not allowing for this, the Swindon-based company gave the money to local charities instead. Rosemary Curtis, Chair of trustees at Big Breakfast Plus, said: “We were thrilled and overwhelmed by this unexpected donation. The generosity and goodwill of the community is really important to small local charities like ours - and, more importantly, to those who we support. We’ve struggled to help them since the initial lockdown in March, so this amazing donation will enable us to explore alternative ways in which we can relaunch our service,
