Today Helen and Deb are talking about Harvest Festival, but don't panic they won't be singing any hymns. Instead they want donations to the People's Pantry. The pantry is Alice Charity's food bank but you don't need a referral to use it.

The pair also discuss Deb's new tattoo and give a shout out to a family Deb has recently signed off from family support. (Deb hates letting them go...)

Alice Cares is a podcast from Alice Charity based in North Staffordshire in the UK.

Every week you'll hear from Deb and Helen from the Family Support team at Alice. You'll find out what they get up both in and out of the office.

In this episode Helen will tell you all about a fabulous new scheme called Pass It On which means that Alice can now take larger items which people want to donate. That's things such as wardrobes, double beds, washing machines and so on. They've linked up with DPD to do a monthly pick up an drop off.

Deb admits to being a hoarder and Helen tells a story about how she hired a skip to try and find a watch she'd lost.

In this episode the pair are chatting about the volunteers who help keep Alice going. The charity operates a People's Pantry for families who need help filling the kitchen cupboards. Volunteers gave up their time to make sure the pantry has been kept open during the summer holidays.

But there are lots of other roles available too from working at Big Cup, rallying the troops to raise money, a bit of book keeping and family support volunteers.

In this episode Deb's been on some training and shares a few tips which she learned. Training is important at Alice Charity and volunteers and staff are encouraged to go on training.

There's also some debate about Deb's new flip flops, or as she insists on calling them, her sliders. Helen's not convinced by them but Deb insists they're great for holidays.
