Our takeaway meal distributions have now reached around 250 meals each day, meaning portions are peaking at 550 a day. With this growth comes the responsibility to ensure that everything runs in a way that is organised, respectful, and fair for everyone who comes through our doors.
To support this, we are very happy to welcome two new members to the extended SKP team.
Alexandra, originally from Athens, has joined us as our part-time Community Engagement and Distribution Officer. Alexandra is helping ensure that our daily takeaway distributions run smoothly and with care, making sure the process is organised and dignified for everyone we serve. Alongside coordinating distributions, she is also helping us strengthen how we collect and understand information about our work. From improving our feedback forms to tracking patterns in the services we offer, Alexandra is helping us stay on top of the evolving needs in our community and across the wider network of partners we work with. Her energy, dedication and fresh ideas are already making a big difference, including ensuring we stay on trend on our social media and communications! Alexandra also brings a calm and grounded presence to the teams as the resident yogi, she manages to keep everything feeling relaxed and balanced, even during the busiest of distributions.
We are also lucky to have Mathilde, an intern joining us for the next six months. Originally from France, Mathilde has many years of experience in Athens and knows the local context very well, having volunteered with many of our partners and colleagues working across the field. At SKP, she is dedicating her time to researching alternative sources of funding and sponsorship, something that is incredibly valuable for a small grassroots organisation like ours. Having someone able to focus deeply on this work, and who understands the realities and needs of organisations like SKP, is a huge support for our team. Mathilde also brings great energy and creativity into the space. She is known for her fabulous nails and effortless sense of style.
We are incredibly grateful to welcome Alex and Mathilde to the SKP team. As our community continues to grow, so does the circle of people who make this work possible. It means a lot to welcome new faces, new ideas, and new energy into the kitchen, and we are very happy to have them as part of the SKP community. Together, we look forward to everything we can achieve in the months ahead!
