Angels Supporting Foodbanks

Sustain Foodbank

Collection Points are at The Halcyon Wealth Longmead Stadium

It's common knowledge that there is now in the UK a cost of living crisis and with Fuel and Food prices continuing to rise things unfortunately will only get worse.  This is affecting people across the country and the Tonbridge area is no exception.  Behind closed doors there is no doubt that food poverty is everywhere. 

As a community based club it's only right that Angels try to help and is therefore proud to continue to support SUSTAIN, a foodbank run by Tonbridge Baptist Church. 

Each week since Covid in March 2020, SUSTAIN has provided an average of 60 emergency food parcels with current need exceeding the supply of donated items. 

Our back up collection points are situated by the Angels Marquee and the Tea Shack and we encourage home and away fans to bring along whatever they can to support those most in need.
