Metallica makes generous £20,000 donation to struggling Cardiff foodbank

• Heavy metal band Metallica donated £20,000 to the Cardiff Foodbank ahead of their sold-out show at the city’s Principality Stadium.
• The donation was made through their charitable foundation, All Within My Hands, following an appeal from the foodbank which stated its warehouse was “so empty”.
• Rachel Biggs, CEO of Cardiff Foodbank, confirmed the “incredible amount of money” will make a significant difference and help replenish their empty shelves.
• The charity, which supports 20,000 people annually, stated the donation will provide 9,000 meals and is their largest celebrity contribution to date.
• The foodbank noted that while demand remains high, food donations have dropped by 27 per cent, with running costs estimated at £700,000.
