I cycled over to KingsGate Church to help the Voices of Hope team finish packing and shift 200 of their 'Brite Boxes' down a few floors (via a lift!) for collection. These boxes are ferried to selected members of the community and aim to assist families to cook and eat healthy meals together with all the ingredients and a recipe book ready to go! We managed to create a smooth chain process from the 2nd floor to the lobby, ensuring they were ready for the many drivers collecting their batches. A successful mission with a lovely team - I look forward to being back.
Voices of Hope is a locally founded charity in Kingston Upon Thames with a focused reach into SW London. We are dedicated to bringing hope to individuals and the wider community, improving physical and mental health through community-based projects. We work with people struggling with complex physical and/or mental health issues, families experiencing food insecurity, women who have experienced abuse/domestic violence, and the elderly. We see those we reach as people who need support, encouragement and empowerment – not as problems which need solving.
