Irons Christmas appeal

By John Ratomski  (Founder of Irons Supporting Foodbanks)

Christmas Children’s Advent and Selection Box Appeal

With over 40,000 Newham children living below the poverty line, Irons Supporting Foodbanks are asking for fans and friends, businesses and groups to join us in supporting this appeal by donating at one of Newham Foodbank’s four donation centres, or at the Vic Tavern in Plaistow.

If any workplace groups would like to support us in making office collections the Foodbank will be happy to come and collect any donations. Big thanks at this time to Trudi and Woody at the Vic who have already started collecting from their regulars today, and to Neil Taylor for making this happen.

We know more families will be using foodbanks during the next few months and we just want their children to have something for themselves at Christmas. If anyone wishes to make a specific donation for these items through our Justgiving page (www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/ironssupportingfoodbanks) please leave a suitable message in the comments section. We will ensure that these monies will be spent on the children.

We hope that together we can make a small positive difference for Newham children this Christmas.
