Food redistribution charity City Harvest believes that every child has a right to food. Healthy and nutritious food is essential for child development, both physical and mental, and should be accessible to all.
Since January, food insecurity has doubled, with more than 4 million children living in households with inadequate access to food. City Harvest ‘works tirelessly’ to support children who can’t afford to eat by providing free food to over 375 charity partners across London.
A spokesperson for the Shepherd’s Bush Families Project, said: "We have many families with several children living in very small temporary accommodation, who desperately need the relief of some safe play space and a chance to meet other parents often experiencing similar challenges. We appreciate the weekly visit from our City Harvest driver who cares deeply about getting children and families the right food.”
