Organised through the club and the town’s main Tesco branch, all the canned food will be donated at the gate prior to entry.

A statement from Dorchester Town said: “With support from our friends at Tesco Dorchester we’ll be collecting non-perishable food goods at the turnstiles to donate to local food banks.
