A community centre in Islington has handed out 1,000 food parcels to help those in need amid the pandemic, and held a Christmas appeal.
Hilldrop Community Centre, based in Hilldrop Road, gave out Christmas Parcels on Tuesday to disadvantaged families and individuals in Islington.
Throughout November to early December, the centre has been receiving donations from Islington residents, which included items such as woolly hats, tins of biscuits and chocolates.
Their parcels also consisted of toys for children from the East London Business Alliance (ELBA) annual toy appeal.
