Leading money blogger Andy Webb has written a guest blog to tell you about #FoodBankAdvent, and how you can get involved to help those who can't afford to buy food at Christmas. Views do not necessarily reflect those of MoneySavingExpert.com. I was really pleased that MoneySavingExpert won an award at our UK Money Bloggers event. Not just because of the great job Jordon (who was there to pick up the trophy) and the team do with the MSE blogs, but because you lot are a very generous bunch too. Last year when MSE featured #FoodBankAdvent as a Campaign of the Week, MSE users responded in their thousands. We think at least 216,000 items were donated to food banks as a result of the campaign, and so much of that success was down to you. And we'd love you to get involved again.
