AWE employees donated 1.2 tonnes of festive food this December to the Basingstoke Foodbank for its Christmas Hamper scheme. The goodies were wrapped in nearly 200 boxes and will be distributed to vulnerable families and individuals by the charity. Foodbank administrator Jenny d’Ambrosi said: “A big thank you to the AWE employees for their amazing donations!”
