Tapestry-UK step up support for the vulnerable

 

Since the beginning of the pandemic Tapestry-UK have been working tirelessly alongside Havering Council to ensure that support for the elderly and most vulnerable was in place. The charity has stepped up their operation to meet demand as the situation has shifted.

MP Visits Community Food Club

 

On Thursday 25 April Jon Cruddas joined Cllr Sade Bright, Cabinet Member for Employment, Skills and Aspiration at the council’s Community Food Club. The food club recently opened in Heath Ward and helps support the most vulnerable residents providing £20 worth of food for £3.50. The Food Club opened earlier this year and Jon went to meet the staff and find out how it is helping the community.

Growing in our Community

Last Sunday members of Jon Cruddas MP’s team visited Dagenham Farm, a thriving initiative supplying the local area with organic produce and equipping local residents with skills in cultivation and food preparation.   

Dagenham Farm is part of Growing Communities, a community-led organisation that creates sustainable urban farms.  Growing Communities has been based in Hackney since 1996 and expanded with the opening of Dagenham Farm in 2012.

We have just faced a winter where the question of ‘eating or heating’ was one faced by many across the country.
