ALDI DARTFORD

At the moment during the Covid Pandemic we are running a food bank for people in Bexley Borough. We do not ask for vouchers as we find that demeaning and everyone should be entitled to food. We are asking for help with donations to the food bank either monetary or in food. We are also looking to help out with Christmas Hampers these will include a Turkey, vegetables and other Christmas items. We are looking for a company to help us deliver this project. Howbury Friends runs a multitude of projects but our aim for this project is in 3 parts: 1) To collect food surplus and create menus and cookery activities for all ages in the community and to distribute any unused food out to the community. 2) To provide educational activities for all ages, with a safe environment and achievable outcomes such as cookery projects, arts and crafts etc. 3) To support families and adults to help them get back into education, stay in mainstream school or get employment or further education,

Our mission is to reduce health inequalities and improve health and wellbeing in our local community in Dartford. We achieve this by delivering and facilitating projects that offer a range of opportunities for training, volunteering, social interaction and community engagement. Volunteers, who take an active role in the direction and delivery of our services, lead the majority of our projects. Activities include cookery clubs, computer classes, a job club, art and craft sessions, English for Speakers of Other Languages, exercise sessions, a gardening club, a Men’s shed project and community and repair cafés.
