2024 Team Sidcup Cycles supporting Bexley Foodbank

Story

In 2024, members of Team Sidcup Cycles are supporting Bexley Foodbank, thereby helping local families who are struggling in this current economic crisis to put food on their tables.

A Foodbank is a way of providing emergency food aid to those in need.

How does a Foodbank work?

Non-perishable food (e.g. tins, pasta, rice) is donated to the Foodbank, where it is stored. Vouchers are given to individuals or families in need. The individual or family then come to the Foodbank where they can exchange the voucher for three days of emergency food aid. Many Foodbanks in the UK associate with the Trussell Trust to take advantage of their links to supermarkets and professional organisations.
