**East Barnet since 2023, where we use the small**
**community hall for our food packing and distribution.**
**When we started in 2020, we occupied a disused**
**office. We partner with local schools, social workers**
**and other organisations who identify and signpost**
**individuals and families, to whom we make direct,**
**weekly deliveries of fresh produce. Therefore we**
**enhance the work of the primary organisation, to**
**create a holistic support network - an exercise in**
**Social**
**Responsibility and an investment in people.**
**The charity is small and heavily reliant on our**
**committed and energetic volunteers, who have not**
**missed a single week, packing and delivering, since**
**our inception.**
**Trustees are inducted through the volunteer process,**
**so that we all have a clear understanding of our**
**methods and share the values of the collective.**
**We aim for best practice through self-scrutiny, with**
**on-going risk assessments of every step of our**
**procedures.**
**Every effort is made to create partnerships with other**
**independent community organisations, preferably on**
**one-to-one rather than group forums.**| |---|---| |**Summary of the objects of the**

**We advocate for shared, collective activities and aim**

**Mary’s Church, our hosts in East Barnet, who allow us**
