Pizza, pasta, veg, chicken and chips followed by cakes, doughnuts, chocolates and biscuits were all on the menu.

Fatima said the event was organised to coincide with the period of fasting for Ramadan.

She said: “Each person took away with them a decent-sized bag consisting of fundamentals; this included bottled water, bread, instant food and other essentials.

“We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to organisations for their incredible donations whom without wouldn’t have been possible.

“Thank you all again for your contribution and commitment to our community. Your generosity is an encouraging reminder of why we continue this event year on year.”
