WORLD champion boxer Josh Taylor has become an ambassador for his first charitable initiative. Originally from Prestonpans but now living in Haddington, Josh is now an ambassador for East Lothian Sunday Fresh Chicken Dinner Boxes. The project was set up in December 2019 by Prestonpans resident Jane Russell and is in the process of becoming a charity. It delivers fresh food parcels, and occasionally other items, to those in need, with Jane aiming to help as many people as she can and reduce the stigma around asking for help. It is not just Josh getting involved – his fiancée Danielle Murphy has become a trustee.
