Still Game star Sanjeev Kohli has called on Scots to donate to, volunteer or fundraise for their local foodbank. The 53-year-old, who played shopkeeper Navid Harrid in the comedy series, said “every bit will make a world of difference” to struggling families.
Kohli: “It is heartbreaking that so many people will be forced to turn to a food bank to feed themselves or their families this new year. Winter is often the busiest time for food banks, that’s why I’m calling on the public to continue to play their part.
“I’d love people to support their local food banks to meet this urgent need, by volunteering, donating, fundraising, or campaigning to help end hunger in Scotland. I know from all the staff and volunteers I’ve met, food banks offer hope, dignity and relief to people facing hardship, that’s why I want you all to have the heart of Isa, not the mind of Tam.
“So whether you’re sat in the Clansman, shopping at Navid’s, or dare I say it even walking down the aisles of a Hyperdales, I hope you can take a few moments to think about your local food bank this winter. Whether it’s a few quid in a collection bucket or a few extra items in your shopping trolley, every bit will make a world of difference.”
