On September 12th I pledged my support for leading national food charity FareShare's Million Meal Appeal, due to take place on 6th and 7th October.  FareShare (in conjunction with Sainsbury's) is asking people to donate food to help local people in crisis.

Volunteers will be asked to greet Sainsbury's customers and encourage them to buy an extra item of food from the Million Meal Appeal shopping list. FareShare will then deliver the donated food to over 700 charities and community projects across the UK to help families in need,  Sainsbury's will match the level of food donations collected over the weekend.

Lewisham householders are being offered free loft and cavity wall insulation from Lewisham Insulation Partnership, regardless of income.
