We’re delighted that Maddy Grey, chef and long-standing volunteer at The Real Junk Food Project Twickenham, joined the panel for a special Recycle Week edition of the Impact Talks podcast.

We are very excited to announce the opening of a new surplus food hub at Ham Children’s Centre, next to St Richard’s Primary School. 

In July the Ham Youth Club Community Cafe celebrated its 1 year anniversary

As we continue to expand our services we have welcomed several new team members, all of whom started as regular volunteers.

We’re delighted to announce that TRJFP has been awarded a three year funding from the Hampton Fund. 

It’s been a busy few months of fundraising events with our brilliant and generous partner, Haymarket Media.

Richmond upon Thames’ annual Community Hero Awards recognise local people who have contributed to their community. 

Our outdoor surplus food hub team in Hampton Hill is now serving from under a permanent gazebo

Our April evaluation demonstrated that TRJFP is more than just a food project, it offers multiple benefits to the community including combating loneliness and improving community connections

We’re very grateful for the continued fundraising efforts of Haymarket Media Group which included a Valentine’s Day bake sale - delicious!

As the weather gets warmer our volunteer jam makers are busy

In October the Linden Hall team celebrated the 100th birthday of Olive

TRJFP celebrated Christmas this season by offering traditional turkey and all the trimmings at three of our venues. Altogether Ham, the Cambrian Centre and ETNA served over 230 Christmas meals - that’s a lot of turkey, roast potatoes and brussel sprouts!

We’re thrilled that Haymarket Media Group (a leading global content business headquartered in Twickenham) has chosen TRJFP as their local charity partner for the next three years!

TRJFP couldn’t operate without the financial support of local and national grants, and we have three great updates to share this quarter.

Save the Date!

Next time you visit the Cambrian Centre you might notice a few changes! 

TRJFP are very proud to have three of our volunteers nominated for the 2023 Richmond upon Thames’ Community Heroes Awards.

TRJFP are very excited to announce that we are opening a new venue at Ham Youth Centre

Visitor numbers have grown steadily over the year and now we are regularly feeding 45 people each week. The Café operates on a Pay As You Feel basis and uses surplus food donated by local supermarkets.
