While we admire and support the Christmas campaigns that we see pop up in December, we also know that help is urgently needed all year round, each and every year. As some people pack away after the festive break, we are still here.
Our support is not limited to a food package, but it leaps beyond - we form connections, we listen and respond to everyone who steps through our doors. We open up a warm, safe, environment which aims to feel like a home away from home.
For us to continue to thrive and grow, and keep supporting as many people as possible, we are asking you to become a Friend of Cooking Champions. Even a donation of just £5-10 per month can make a HUGE impact on the lives of those who come through our doors.
Pop to our People's Fundraising page to donate, and we promise to keep you updated with how your support is making a difference. Thank you, we appreciate you! Team Cooking Champions
Police are treating the New Year's Day fire in St John the Evangelist church as arson. It was preceded by a campaign of misogynistic harrassment of the vicar, Rev Julie Coleman. Repairs and redecoration will cost 'tens of thousands' and the church may be out of use for six months.
'Report, report and report.' That was the key message for us all emerging from the latest PG CAPE, writes its chair, Karl Brown. Without information, crime statistics will be misleading, and with many more eyes and ears across our community than the police can muster, we are ideally placed to provide intel on potential and actual bad things.
The Casey Review, set up in the wake of the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police office, identified serious shortcomings in the standards of behaviour and internal culture of the Metropolitan Police Service. In response, the force's Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, has launched a two-year reform plan called A New Met for London. Enfield residents will have an opportunity to learn about the plan and provide feedback at a community engagement event on Friday 4th August.
