Fiona Ollerhead, fellow and associate of AH, founded The Pantry Partnerships (TPP), available via this link. Fiona talks about the impact Action Hampshire has had on her work over the last several years, particularly the support we have provided during the pandemic…

“As a fellow of the first SSE Hampshire programme I have been associated with Action Hampshire for many years, in various capacities. Most recently and currently as the Learning Manager for that programme alongside which I run TPP CIC in Salisbury, Wiltshire.

I have always known that AH is there to support me whatever I do and the biggest impact for me is knowing this and knowing that I am then able to impact our work in Wiltshire and support our students and fellows at the school.

The most recent impact of course has been through Covid where we at TPP, in 6 months created over 2000 meals, from 8 tonnes of surplus, donating the rest to local community groups across our community. Without AH’s support I would never have even got started, let alone be able to organise 50 odd volunteers and a half dilapidated building sufficiently well to make this happen.”
