The Evening Standard Christmas campaign broke through the £1 million mark on Tuesday , thanks to a £500,000 donation from Sainsbury’s to help us tackle rising food insecurity across the country.
It came as West Ham United Football Club backed our Winter Survival Appeal in partnership with Comic Relief, with star strikers Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio visiting the Felix Project in Poplar. The Sainsbury’s donation will be split between two of our chosen charities, the Felix Project and FareShare, the biggest surplus food distributors in London and the UK respectively.
