October Newsletter

Harvest has been and gone, and the response to our Foodbank appeal has been astonishing. Schools, churches and community groups have all rallied to the cause and we are incredibly grateful. Our team has participated in over twenty school assemblies across Lambeth and were overwhelmed by the energy and enthusiasm that greeted them. There isn’t room to list all the donors here, but we wanted to express our deep gratitude to all contributors, young and old!See pictures of am School assembly and our warehouse full with harvest bounty by clicking on this link and viewing our full October newsletter.

Many thanks for your continued support.
