Food charity helping to feed hungry during coronavirus outbreak
A food charity and the emergency services have secured extra storage space at two Deptford business estates to support their vital work during the Coronavirus pandemic.
FareShare works to relieve food poverty and reduce food waste in the UK and has moved into two previously unoccupied railway arches on the Parkside Business Estate.
Three other arches at Deptford’s Apollo Business Park are being used by the London Ambulance Service.
The properties have been offered to the organisations by The Arch Company, which is the UK’s largest small business landlord.
FareShare is using the properties on a rent-free basis to store food donations from supermarkets and other suppliers before they are packed and distributed to vulnerable people by Red Cross and NHS volunteers.
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
