THE Two tin challenge will continue in Kendal following the success of a previous collection by Extinction Rebellion.

The South Lakes climate activist group took the example from a successful collection earlier this week for Barrow foodbank by Extinction Rebellion Furness activists. 

XRSL will be carrying out another Two Tin Tuesday collection for Kendal food bank on May 26.

Boxes will be collected at 3pm. The confirmed locations at this time are on Burneside Road before the bus stop, LA9 6DG off Mintsfeet Industrial Estate near the Suzuki garage and the Vauxhall garage, the Castle Street centre entrance and the footbridge between Aynam Road and the Abbot Hall playground. A spokesman said: “The food bank is struggling to help feed all the extra people who have lost their income due to lock-down, and the families with children at home who would normally get free school meals.”
