We’re feeling incredibly grateful for the kindness and generosity shown by our community to our Food Bank this summer!

So we wanted to say a huge thank you to Camden New Journal and Murphys for their fantastic food donations, helping us keep our shelves stocked for local people who need support.

We’re also so grateful to the The Sheephaven Bay for their generous £400 donation, and to PHLUG Parliament Hill Lido Users Group group for raising an amazing £1,000 through their summer fundraiser.

And a special thank you to Pets at Home Camden and Blue Cross UK whose fundraising and collection events brought in a car-load of pet food and supplies, helping us support local pet owners facing hardship.

Every donation, fundraiser and act of kindness helps make a real difference. From our Food Bank team and volunteers, thank you ❤️
