Please, if you have any items you are able to donate to assist the scheme, please do get in contact. We appreciate any items which are useful and in decent condition, and some items the young people could really benefit from are: - Toiletry packs (shower sets, bath sets, towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, etc.) - Professional clothing or shoes - Clothes Hangers - Food Hampers - Dishes and cutlery - Document folders/dividers - Other essentials. During this season, it would help if you have any items which would bring a bit more joy to the young people: - Xbox 360 games or controllers (as someone kindly donated an old system a few months ago). - Xbox 360 slim hard drive (as someone kindly donated an Xbox; however, the hard drive was fried). - Movies - Art supplies (anything goes, even therapeutic colouring books) - Musical instruments - Workout equipment - Board games - Any other items you feel the age group would appreciate

Community Food Hub is a project started by Hackney charity Children With Voices in light of COVID-19 to support the vulnerable, homeless, struggling families and the elderly in our community in this difficult time. We collect donation surplus food to feed and support our community. We support families and children who face holiday hunger, and who, now more then ever, are having a difficult time due to lack of food, lack of access to benefits or difficulty accessing the right support. We need volunteers to help run our Community Food Hubs – dropping of food to the vulnerable and the self isolating, collecting our food donations from various locations, and in the day-to-day running of our hubs. We run 2 hubs around Hackney and are providing 60+ packages weekly, some for large families with small children. These families need our support and are the most at risk and vulnerable in our community – those with children who are carers to their parents, those whose first language may not be English, those who are self-isolating, those with mental health problems. We help by providing them with what they need to survive. We support our local communities.

Edible London was formed over 5 years ago but registered in (March 2018) as a community interest company working within and around the surrounding area of the London Borough of Haringey. We believe in win-win dynamics… in sharing… in collaborating…in creating structures built on empathy and abundance. Our goal is to help those in the community who suffer from food poverty to eat a more nutritious diet and, in turn, learn to feed their community through food growing. Created as a coming-together of a diverse, determined and committed crew of local individuals, all working toward an inspiring goal. Planned a brighter future for not only the Wolves Lane Horticultural Centre but also for the local community and those disenfranchised and disconnected with those living around them; all centred around horticulture and community spirit. The idea of food growing bringing people together and closer to the natural world in general, within the geographical location it is situated. Haringey is deeply affected by many issues that you would expect to find in an area with high levels of economic inequality. Food poverty, social isolation, crime, a disenfranchised youth, high levels of this, offsets the relentless march of gentrification, pushing aside individuals and families on lower incomes who have been an integral part of this area for many years and even generations. OUR AMBITION AND LONG-TERM GOALS - To increase our offering to those in the community who suffer from food poverty. - To allow everybody to eat a more nutritious diet, to educate them and allow them to educate others and, in turn, learn to feed their community through food growing and better food education. - To support the local and wider community by providing them with the education and opportunity to support themselves and those in need by growing and getting involved with the process of growing and producing organic sustainable food.
