Members of Bromley and Chislehurst Labour Party and friends are walking from Beckenham Place Park to Crystal Palace Park to raise money for Bromley Foodbank

From April 2016-March 2017 over 1 million 3 day emergency food supplies were given to people across the UK

In the Borough of Bromley alone 4,267 parcels were given out in 2015.
