The Pecan food bank in Peckham, South London, was devastated after thieves stole £3,000 worth of food and hygiene products, impacting hundreds of local families. In response, the Prince and Princess of Wales made a generous private donation to help replenish the stock, with the food bank expressing gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of support from the community. Chief Executive Peter Edwards described the theft as a 'hammer blow' to the vulnerable families reliant on their services. Despite the setback, the food bank has assured that they have sufficient supplies for the upcoming week and are actively fundraising for future needs. The Metropolitan Police have been notified, and an investigation is ongoing. The royal couple's support reflects their ongoing commitment to helping those in need.
