A rather mild evening made it perfect for finishing of the bulb planting in Kentish town.

We had hundreds of tulips, daffodils and alliums to get in the ground, the will hopefully looking beautiful in a few months time!

It was a great day handing out some of the food bags and festive treats packed the day earlier to families and individuals living in the Bethnal Green area. Some of the volunteers were assigned a runner task while others took care of consolidating the supplies according to the needs of the clients and handing them out, as well as unpacking incoming donations.

It was overall a very fun and productive session where a lot of bags were handed out and we're grateful everything went so smoothly!

Ivo, Lutfir and Simon helped to pack many bags of Festive treats for the Food Bank clients, as well as the weekly tasks of filling essential food parcels for the people in need.

The food bank have a Winter Appeal ongoing at the moment, asking for food and other donations to help them through the cold months.
