Mid Suffolk’s outgoing chair, Daniel Pratt, has presented a cheque for £1,200 to his chosen charity – the Food Museum.
During his term as chair he hosted several fundraising events and with the support of residents raised the money for the museum in Stowmarket, the UK’s only museum dedicated to educating people about where their food comes from and the impact of their choices have on the environment, society, health and wellbeing.
Councillor Pratt said: “It has been my pleasure to support the Food Museum during my year as chair of Mid Suffolk District Council.
“The Food Museum, through their charity programme, do fantastic work with the community – providing free cooking activities for school age children, integration and community-building events for refugees, and a community referral programme working with the NHS.”
Jenny Cousins, the museum’s director said: “We appreciate the support and fundraising efforts by councillor Pratt.
“During these difficult financial times, this generosity will enable us to continue to help people understand more about the food they eat as we deliver learning sessions to local schoolchildren and visitors.”
