Ealing Alternative Provision provides education for young people who are unable to follow their education in the mainstream setting. They are supporting a few local families with food parcels and are looking for volunteers to help deliver them on Thursday lunchtimes.

Please note: They are working with The William Hobbayne Charity to sort and supply the food so parcels will be collected from there and NOT the school
