David Astburys Estate Agency in Crouch End has kicked off a campaign to support Hornsey Food Bank and Tricky Period. The Crouch End office of this community focused independent estate agency has become an official drop off location for donations for the Food Bank and Tricky Period.
Hornsey Food Bank provides food parcels and necessities to a countless number of families and individuals every month. They are an independent community led group run entirely by volunteers. Tricky Period is a period poverty initiative developed by grassroots homelessness group Streets Kitchen. They supply period products to several women’s shelters, refuges, mother and baby assessment units.
The pandemic and rising unemployment means that there is an increasing number of people in need who are struggling to make ends meet. This was the driving force which led to the involvement of David Astburys and their campaign to support both organisations.
Yianni Aresti, Lettings Director & Partner at David Astburys said; “The need for many in our community is greater than ever and we had an overwhelming desire to find a way to help. During the first lockdown we spent time volunteering and supporting the Muswell Hill Soup Kitchen and we wanted to expand those effort to other charitable organisations as more people are struggling. We are inviting locals to drop off donations to our Crouch End office, anything you can give is helpful, however small.”
