For 2022, instead of the usual Secret Santa, Gill & I thought that this year, donations could instead be made (voluntarily) to Bow Foodbank
A message from Joanna Read, Director of the Foodbank to businesses supporting the charity:
If you are thinking about, or have given to Bow Foodbank, firstly thank you! 13 per cent of all our income comes from businesses like yours. Tower Hamlets is a unique part of London with large numbers of big businesses alongside some of the poorest areas in the country. We thank you for supporting the wider community where you work. Did you know that parts of Tower Hamlets have the highest levels of child poverty in England and many struggle to access enough food to eat. Parents report going hungry to feed their family, and still more go without household essentials such as toothpaste in order to put food on the table. Around a third of our guests come from single adult households supporting multiple children. 50 per cent of our guests are in work locally, often in lower-paid jobs with irregular hours meaning sometimes they require an extra helping hand to make ends meet.
A £20 donation buys one family a bag of food that would support them for three days.
A £25 donation means a family can also take a children’s top-up bag.
A £50 donation means we are able to offer fresh fruit and vegetables to 20 guests. Thanks,
Thank you so much for your support, Emma, Gill and Jo!
