Boston Food Bank is asking for non-perishable items such as tinned food

The leader of a Boston food bank says the need for their service has remained "persistently high" and is appealing for help.

Father David Stevenson, the rector of St Botolph's Church, also known as Boston Stump, where the food bank is based, said the facility was "a lifeline for people".

The appeal comes at a time when extra costs associated with heating homes can lead to an increase in people needing help, he said.

Boston Food Bank is part of The Trussell Trust, which runs a network across the UK. The food bank said it had seen record levels of need in the past year.
