Mark Pullen of Hereward Carpets and Annette Ablewhite of Little Miracles
13th – 19th October was National Food Bank Week. As a business in the local community, Hereward Carpets wanted to support this cause, with the help of their customers and the local business community. Throughout the week, donations were brought into the shop by their customers and neighbours.
On Friday, they ran a free networking event with Creative Content Company, to support the local business community. This marked National Work and Family Month, as Hereward Carpets is a family business. The donations were then collected at the event by Little Miracles for their foodbank.
Mark from Hereward Carpets said:
“We were thrilled to recently take part in something completely new for us — becoming a food bank donation point!
The generosity of our customers truly amazed us, with numerous bags of food and essential items kindly donated to support the charity. During our Friday networking event in the showroom, several attendees also brought along their own contributions, which helped boost the total even further.
It was a real pleasure to welcome Annette from the charity to the event and to personally hand over all the donations to her — a proud and heart-warming moment for everyone involved.”
Annette from Little Miracles said:
“What can I say — WOW! I was absolutely blown away by the incredible support shown at the Creative Content Company networking event, hosted by Mark at Hereward Carpets last Friday.
Recognising the importance of family and community, attendees were invited to support the Little Miracles Charity Food Bank — and the response was just amazing.
As a local charity, Little Miracles provides a non-judgemental environment where we take a holistic approach to supporting the needs of the whole family. We specialise in offering advice, guidance, activities, training, and safe spaces to families who have a child with an additional need, disability, or life-limiting condition. Our support starts even before diagnosis and continues from birth through to age 25.
With the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, the need for our food bank has grown more than ever. Families are often faced with heartbreaking decisions — heating or eating, or parents going without so their children can be fed.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of those who attended the networking event — and the amazing clients of Hereward Carpets — my car was filled to the brim with donations! I was truly moved to tears and completely overwhelmed by everyone’s kindness.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who supported. 
If you’d like to learn more about Little Miracles or get involved, I’d love to hear from you — please reach out at annette.ablewhite@littlemiraclescharity.org.uk.
Together, we really are making a difference.”
