Alexanders and Brentford Football Club support Hounslow Community Foodbox at
Christmas

The UK’s premier removals and storage firm, Alexanders, has partnered with Brentford
Football Club and Hounslow Community Foodbox to provide Christmas Hampers for some of
the most vulnerable residents in the borough.

On Saturday December 17th, on cold and frost morning in TW4, a team of volunteers both
young and old packed over 160 Hampers at the Alexanders warehouse. The hampers were
packed ready to be delivered throughout Hounslow in the run up to Christmas.

Each Christmas hamper, catered to the unique dietary requirements of every recipient, and
contained weekly food for either a family or a single resident alongside Christmas presents
and festive treats. Children received presents including books, colouring books and other
assorted gifts depending on their age.

Director of Alexanders Group, Alex Pope, said ‘We are delighted to support such a worthwhile
cause. It is very humbling reading some of the tickets and seeing people struggling with the
very basics of living. I’m glad we can do our bit to help in some way’.

Hounslow Community Foodbox Treasurer, Philip Jones, who helped pack the Christmas
hampers said;
‘We are really pleased to have super generous support of Alexanders and Brentford FC this
year to help us provide Christmas Hampers for 500 adults and children across the borough –
many more than in previous years. I hope it helps in these difficult times to brighten their
Christmases.’

A few weeks prior, Brentford star player Josh Dasilva visited Foodbox to help pack the first of
the hampers. Bees Club Ambassador Marcus Gayle said ‘We’re in the middle of a cost-of-living
crisis and this Christmas will be super tough for families right across the borough. Give a little
help a lot this Christmas’.
