Over recent months, we have continued to see people relying on our Community Canteens for a hot, healthy meal, as well as friendship and a chance to get out of the house into a warm space.
Our efforts were highlighted in the Evening Standard, with our guests telling the reporter:
“I am an old woman and don’t want to sit at home all day on my own. The cost of electricity is terrible — I have to sit under a blanket at home, but when I come here I meet my friends and don’t need to put the heating on.”
"I like coming here - I get food, a chat and it helps with the Cost of Living."
During December, a lot of work has gone into organising our festive Canteen sessions, offering the community a chance to be together with others at this difficult time of year.
There was smiles on the faces of so many who joined us for the first two meals, and there's still more to go. Thank you to everyone who has supported us #EnrichingCommunities throughout the year. If you are able to offer another donation, towards our efforts now and into 2024, we would greatly appreciate it.
