Freezer appeal

Kirkcaldy Foodbank is appealing for help to source or buy a new freezer. 

The large upright freezer used by the charity to store frozen food at its Park Road premises has broken. 

 Foodbank chair Angela Campbell said: "We have been advised that it cannot be repaired cost effectively so it will have to be replaced. 

 "The existing freezer was donated to the foodbank several years ago, and the estimated cost to buy a similar model with two glass doors is about £2000. 

 "If anyone out there knows of a suitable freezer which is surplus to requirements - perhaps from a shop which no longer needs it - and might be offered to the foodbank, we would be delighted to hear from them. 

 "Otherwise we will require to raise the money ourselves as quickly as possible." 

 Anyone who might be able to help, either with sourcing a new freezer or who wants to contribute towards buying a replacement, should get in touch by emailing
