Camden Council, the Young Camden Foundation, and the Hampstead Wells and Campden Trust are working together to provide “food hubs” at five community centres in north London to help feed families throughout the summer holidays.
Since the start of August, more than 1,300 meals have been served from the Sidings Community Centre in West Hampstead, SHAK in South Hampstead, the Queen’s Crescent Community Association, the Dragon Hall Trust in Covent Garden and the Calthorpe Project in King’s Cross.

All of the community groups are integrating meals alongside socially-distanced summer activities that are now possible.
