Increasing numbers of people in need sparks Hornsey Food Bank and Tricky Period support campaign

We have kicked off a campaign to support Hornsey Food Bank and Tricky Period. Our Crouch End office has become an official drop off location for donations for the Food Bank and Tricky Period.

Hornsey Food Bank provides food parcels and necessities to a countless number of families and individuals every month. They are an independent community led group run entirely by volunteers. Tricky Period is a period poverty initiative developed by grassroots homelessness group Streets Kitchen. They supply period products to several women’s shelters, refuges, mother and baby assessment units.

The pandemic and rising unemployment means that there is an increasing number of people in need who are struggling to make ends meet. This was the driving force which led to our involvement and our desire to support both organisations.

The need for many in our community is greater than ever and we are inviting locals to drop off donations to our Crouch End office, anything you can give is helpful, however small.
