A big thank you to Hackney Foodbank for having the ConSol Partners and LMA Recruitment teams in for their Supermarket Sweep volunteering challenge. 🙌 After an eye-opening briefing at their Homerton warehouse on the need they’re seeing locally, we headed out with trolleys and a list of most-needed items. We split into three teams, taking on challenges (and a bit of friendly competition) along the way, with the following results: 🍗 Hackney Haulers brought back 104kg of food and scored 125 points. 🌮 Chile Consol Carne brought back 97kg and won points for best team name, scoring 160 points in total. 🐟 Team Tina Tuna brought back 114.5kg (the heaviest shop 💪) and scored extra points for spending exactly £150. They were the winning team with 215 points! 🥇 Overall, it was the perfect mix of giving back and team bonding while giving us real perspective: Hackney Foodbank supports hundreds of people each week, with demand continuing to rise sharply (up 30% year on year). They do this with dignity, providing emergency food where it’s needed most and helping people access wider support beyond that immediate moment. If you’re a business considering a team volunteering day, we’d strongly recommend it. It’s useful, fun, and genuinely perspective-shifting. Special thanks to Ramez Gad for organising, and also to Jenna Fansa and Sally Newsom at Hackney Foodbank for having us and for the work you do every day. ✨ Ian Storey, Karen Nodwell, Tom Davey, Christian Dy #Volunteering #Community #SocialValue #Hackney #London #FoodBank

2moAmazing day. Feels great to know that we've given back to the local community and brought back collectively 315.5kg of food (which is equivalent to 378 emergency meals to people experiencing hardship) #humanityrestored
