Rejected petition Establish more food banks and soup kitchens in the London Borough of Haringey
We want there to be more food banks and soup kitchens in the borough to help those who are less fortunate and don't have a reliable food source. According to national homelessness charity Shelter, in November 2018 Haringey had the second highest rate of homelessness of any local authority in the UK.
More details
9,200 people in Haringey are in temporary accommodation. 1 in 29 people don't have a permanent home. Please join us in making sure the less fortunate have a reliable food source!
