In late 2020, after experiencing unprecedented demand for their services due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trussell Trust approached us looking for space to sort and store food donations for the Brent Foodbank, one of the largest foodbanks operating in the London Borough of Brent.
Given our proximity to their existing foodbank centres in Neasden and Kingsbury, Wembley Park was an optimum location and after carrying out additional health and safety fit-out works to make sure the space was fit for purpose, we were able to put the former Yellow Pavilion back into full-time community use.
The trust moved into their new premises in early December 2020 and both Quintain and our retail managing agent Realm continue to provide practical and in-kind support, allowing the trust to deliver their crucial work in these trying times.
