Many local groups and businesses supported the Grizzly Race (an annual gruelling race from Seaton through Beer, Branscombe and back organised by Axe Valley Runners). Tesco Seaton donated a huge pile of bananas so that every runner could enjoy a healthy snack when they finished the race. LED (Leisure East Devon) staff stepped in to hand out the fruit. At the end of the day, there were some bananas left and these found their way to the Seaton Community Larder where they were very welcome.

Santa’s elves had it easy compared to the SAVE food hub volunteers over Christmas and New Year. Across our five communities, in Seaton, Axmouth, Axminster, Colyton and Sidmouth, volunteers saved a staggering 5.5 tonnes of food in December.
