On Christmas Eve, 24th December, the Ilford Food Bank held a special pre-Christmas food distribution at the Ilford Lane Engagement Hub. From 6pm to 8pm, over 150 food packages were given out to 75 families and individuals, helping to provide essential support at a particularly important time of year.

The event was made possible thanks to the dedication of local community volunteers, the Families Information Direct Team, Highways & Transportation, and Clementswood SNT, who worked together to ensure everything ran smoothly.

The Ilford Food Bank is one of the valuable services operating from the Engagement Hubs at Ilford Lane supporting communities across the borough.
