The organisation operates a foodbank to relieve those in food poverty due to unemployment or financial hardship. The organisation also helps those with a disability, families and pensioners to put food on their tables.

Razvana Parvez works for Aberdeen Standards Investments and volunteers with World Care Foundation and said it is an eye-opener seeing how many people find themselves in food crisis.

Razvana Parvez said: “We take pride in helping fellow humans at their time of need. A simple box of food along with knowing someone cares makes a big difference. Those who receive food parcels not only benefit from food but the warm and caring company of volunteers.

“We are very grateful for the donation received from Aberdeen Standard Investments. These funds will help us to deliver an equivalent of 6,848 bags of 2kg rice or provide 2,895 chicken vouchers.”

Claire Drummond, head of charitable giving for Aberdeen Standard Investments, added: “The work of World Care Foundation aligns with the Charitable Foundation’s vision to support and direct impact the local community. This charity’s aid has direct impact on alleviating suffering and reducing poverty in the local community. In addition, it ensures those with children or from disadvantaged backgrounds are not going without food.”
