Saturday afternoon I teamed up with Serena from DLAG for a special collection mission! 🚀

On our donation wish list: nappies, baby wipes, sanitary towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and soap — for adults, children, and babies alike.

Despite the chilly weather, we managed to collect 14 whole boxes of supplies!

A huge thank-you to the wonderfully generous people of Surbiton — you warmed up the day more than the sun ever could. 💛💙

Eat Fresh, Give Fresh, Make a Difference!

Sunday 16th November 2025

Written by Kingston upon Thames runner

I spent the afternoon at our local stall, collecting essential produce to stock the shelves of the local Food Hub. Thanks to community kindness, I collected a fantastic array of healthy items: Bananas and Oranges, Green Vegetables, Potatoes and Onions. All this fresh food makes a real difference. The boxes were collected by a dedicated Food Hub volunteer, to be sorted and assembled into food parcels tonight. These crucial supplies will go directly to families in need across our area, ready for delivery tomorrow morning. A massive thank you to everyone who stopped by and contributed, providing nutritious meals and vital support to our community.
