Free fresh food in New Addington
New Addington Leisure & Community Centre is excited to announce a partnership with The Felix Project, a leading London-based food rescue charity, to host a fresh food giveaway on Thursday, August 28th from 12pm - 2pm.
The event aims to provide essential fresh food to local residents, building on the success of the centre's recent HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) summer programme, which engaged 400 children over 4 weeks.
This collaboration will see an incredible eight tons of fresh produce distributed to the New Addington community in just two hours. This initiative underscores the leisure centre's commitment to supporting local people, beyond the offering of sport and fitness.
New Addington Leisure & Community Centre is run by charitable social enterprise GLL under the ‘Better’ brand and in partnership with Croydon Council.
David Hughes, GLL’s Partnership Manager in the borough, comments, “We’re delighted to be working with The Felix Project. It’s a fantastic organisation that is dedicated to fighting hunger and food waste in the capital – as such, their values are completely in line with GLL’s commitment to supporting local communities.”
Everyone is welcome to come along and benefit from this fantastic service so bring your bags, boxes and trolleys and help yourself to some delicious fresh produce!
