For many people and families dealing with financial hardship, times such as the summer holidays are especially difficult. Colindale Foodbank appealing for donations to help people get through this time.
Colindale Foodbank invited local filmmaker Roger Tichborne down to see the operation in action and show why the donations make such a difference.
The video dispels the myth that Foodbanks give handouts to people who don't need it and shows that it can help turn people's lives around. Roger said "It was a real eye opener to see the Foodbank in operation and hear the stories of the volunteer and clients. Whilst all compassionate people would prefer it if there was no need for foodbanks, if we don't generously support them, the hardest pressed families in our community go hungry. Whilst we need to find long term solutions to alleviate poverty, in the short term a donation to the foodbank is a practical way to make a difference".
