A local taxi service is teaming up with Carlisle Foodbank to help those in need this winter.
Tap A Taxi, which launched in the city last year, has announced that its drivers will be delivering essential supplies directly to the foodbank.
Donations of warm food, blankets, or flasks can be dropped off with Tap A Taxi drivers, who will then transport them to the foodbank for distribution.
The service encourages locals to inform their drivers of any donations they wish to make.
"As the weather gets colder, we want to support our community," said a spokesperson for Tap A Taxi.
"By working with Carlisle Foodbank, we can ensure that those in need have access to warm food and blankets."
In addition to in-taxi donations, residents can also drop off food items at the donation point in The Lanes, Carlisle.
