Food- and Clothes bank for the Homeless:
|
Our Food- and clothes bank, is based at our centre in Stratford: Carpenters' and Dockland Centre. What once was a small foodbank to provide the homeless people of the area with a hot drink and a bite to eat has now, since the start of 2020, turned into a foodbank which provides food parcels for 65 low income families twice weekly as well as food and clothes for the homeless of the area. With the support of many funders and food suppliers including Marks and Spencer's, Sainsbury's and Fare share, we are able to provide the most essential items to these families and we also provide some items to smaller charities.

Social Activities:
NELLIE'S FLOWER CLUB, ROTHERHITHE

We appreciate that it is in our nature to be sociable, thus we like to create opportunities for people to gather and have a good time. Some of our social activities go hand in hand with our sport activities. Where it is possible, we set up refreshments for participants to enjoy after the activity. Examples of these activities is Line dancing, Walking football and Floristry. This gives participants a chance to relax and make new friends. We also work with other charitable organizations to host workshops and events that will benefit our communities. |
