Here for Humanity Preston are distributing pancake packs to people who visit their food banks to help them celebrate.

They are aiming to give 100 parcels, which will contain ingredients to make around 1,000 pancakes.

This will ensure Prestonians can enjoy pancake day without worrying about purchasing ingredients.
