Band leader volunteers at Carlisle Food Hub after losing two years worth of bookings

During the Covid-19 pandemic, local heroes have emerged to undertake acts of selflessness and kindness. Andy Whitaker is the founder and director of Highly Strung, Cumbria’s most successful wedding band. And as a result of the pandemic, the group lost at least two years of business after all of their wedding bookings were postponed. However, after deciding that he did not want to let the experience get the better of him, Andy vowed to give his time to volunteering to one of Carlisle’s most essential good causes – the Affordable Food Hub. Andy has been a dedicated volunteer throughout the Covid crisis and is using the time freed up in his life to help others who are struggling during the pandemic.
