This Sunday, 9 January, there will be the monthly collection for Wandsworth Foodbank in St Mary’s and All Saints’ Churches in Putney.

Since April 2020 The Foodbank's 5 centres, which people would use to collect goods, have closed as they are now operating a delivery service based in a warehouse in Wandsworth.

You can also drop off donations to St Mary's before Sunday. St Mary's building is open in line with Putney Pantry's opening hours: Monday- Friday 10.oo am - 3.00 pm, Saturday 10.00 am - 5.00 pm and Sunday 11.30 am - 5.00 pm.

The following items are needed:

HOT WATER BOTTLES (ideally new with a cover)
TINNED MEAT (chicken or beef)
TINNED POTATOES
TINNED VEGETABLES & PULSES
UHT MILK (full-fat or semi-skimmed)
UHT NON-DAIRY MILK
UHT FRUIT JUICE (1 litre)
HOT CHOCOLATE
BISCUITS (packets, not large boxes)
TINNED FRUIT
PASTA SAUCE

Wandsworth Foodbank is part of the Trussell Trust's nationwide network of food banks. It provides emergency food, support and advice to local people who are experiencing financial hardship.

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
