David Astburys and DJ Spoony unveil Muswell Hill Soup Kitchen’s electric van after £60k fundraiser

Martin Stone of Muswell Hills Soup Kitchen unveiled the new Next Meal electric van which will be helping to deliver meals to the homeless and in need during the pandemic and extend the efforts of the Soup Kitchen. The local community in Muswell Hill and Crouch End, were able to raise nearly £60,000 in just six weeks to fund the van.

George Sifonios our Managing Director based in the Crouch End office was there on Saturday November 21st alongside Martin Stone, Tony Gale, Catherine West MP, DJ Spoony, ex Fulham FC player Les Strong and former England cricketer Gladstone Small.

We have been supporters of the Soup Kitchen for a few years, so when Martin Stone requested that we take part in this special day, we were honored. George asked DJ Spoony to come and support and help raise awareness for this great initiative which will help reach many homeless people who don’t have access to hot meals as a result of the pandemic.

The Muswell Hill Soup Kitchen, which is led by Martin Stone, provided food for those in need of a hot meal and was open seven days a week prior to the lockdown in March. The charity was forced to only provide meals by delivering them to those in need which was challenging without transportation.

It is amazing that the community pulled together and raised the £60k needed for the electric van so quickly, it speaks to the giving spirit we have here in Crouch End and Muswell Hill. We will continue to support the Soup Kitchen and Next Meal and any other charitable initiatives making an impact in the community we love.
