Community Trust sets up emergency foodbank for unpaid Bolton staff

AN emergency foodbank service has been set up by Bolton’s community trust for the club’s unpaid staff members.

The club entered administration on Monday after former Watford owner Laurence Bassini’s takeover fell through.

Local businesses and charities have kindly donated food and essential products to staff, who have gone without pay for the last two weeks.
