The pandemic and high levels of unemployment have led to an increasing number of people in need who are struggling to make ends meet. This was the driving force for community focused Estate Agent, David Astburys, to kick off a campaign in 2020 to support Hornsey Food Bank and Tricky period. Today they have expanded their support to Bound Green Food Bank. The Food Bank was established in June 2020 and grew out of the work of residents who came together to provide support for residents in Bounds Green during the pandemic. Today they welcome over 300 people a week and provide food and necessities for guests and their families.

The Crouch End office of this community focused independent estate agents has become an official drop off location for donations for Hornsey 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.

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 pandemic and the lockdowns, 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.’
