Volunteers needed for the local Foodbank
H&F Foodbank need volunteers to help out – specifically people with cars to deliver food packages around the area from the main distribution centre at Olympia. Anyone able to help will need to obtain a DBS certificate, which will confirm whether you are able to deliver to potentially vulnerable people.
There are two ways to get a DBS certificate:
1) via the GOV.UK website https://www.gov.uk/
or
2) via one of the third party organisations such as https://dbs-online.org.uk/
Once the DBS check comes through then please email the Foodbank directly – info@hammersmithfulham.

Friends of Brook Green annual inter-street quiz 2020
The annual Friends of Brook Green inter-street quiz & raffle took place at Bute House School on Thursday 13th February. Over 160 residents representing local streets, businesses and mansion blocks took part in what was a fun but competitive evening. Susannah Frieze’s questions were, as always, wide ranging and challenging. Our thanks to Finlay Brewer who once again sponsored the event, and did very well in the quiz. The raffle is always one of the highlights of the evening and our thanks to the many restaurants and local businesses who kindly donated raffle prizes. Finally congratulations to Poplar Grove who regained their title as the Friends of Brook Green inter-street quiz champions.
