By Toby Porter
A school has set up a a food bank to support families experiencing hardship as a result of Covid-19.
Ravensbourne School in Hayes Lane, Bromley, has had donations from local businesses including Bromley Football Club, generous members of the public and West Kent’s Provincial Grand Lodge.
Headteacher Mark O’Shaughnessy said: “We are proud that our families have reached out to seek help from us and we hope that our efforts will go some way to alleviate hunger and distress.
“To date, over two dozen families are being supported and we hope many more will come forward in the coming weeks.
“I am immensely proud of the way the school community has come together during this time. It is important to take care of each other and ourselves.”
The school accepts food and non-perishable household product donations between Monday-Friday, 8am-12pm.
Everyone at the South London Press thanks you for your continued support.
Former Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has encouraged everyone in the country who can afford to do so to buy a newspaper, and told the Downing Street press briefing:
“A FREE COUNTRY NEEDS A FREE PRESS, AND THE NEWSPAPERS OF OUR COUNTRY ARE UNDER SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL PRESSURE”
If you can afford to do so, we would be so grateful if you can make a donation which will allow us to continue to bring stories to you, both in print and online. Or please make cheques payable to “MSI Media Limited” and send by post to South London Press, Unit 112, 160 Bromley Road, Catford, London SE6 2NZ
