Triathlon Homes is proud to fund the Community Team based at EVML. They responded well to provide an essential service to residents throughout lockdown and have organised almost 1000 food parcels to be delivered to help support residents in need.

The food pantry got up and running during the first lockdown back in March. It was set up by  EVML’s Community Team. At that point it was clear there were some families and individuals who needed support and didn’t have enough food.

They’ve identified a need for baby items such as nappies, food and hygiene products.

The EVML volunteer team were also fortunate to receive a donation of 20 professional face shields from a local design company “D-Lab”. These are being used to keep volunteers safe.

The food pantry initiative was recently shortlisted for the BTR community initiative of the year award.
