Compassion London formed in March will have access to Allianz Park’s kitchens nine hours a day, seven days a week in order to cook nutritious and delicious meals for those in need across the whole of London, including 12 hospitals.
Led by chef Leon Aarts, Compassion London’s aim is to produce 10,000 meals a day from their Allianz Park base for NHS staff, homeless shelters, single households that are in dire need, the Jewish Volunteering Network, Grief encounters, Street Kids and many more.
A strong team of more than 100 volunteers including chefs, kitchen support, delivery drivers and business owners are among those involved and in addition to providing use of the stadiums facilities, the club has offered the use of club vehicles, such as the kit van, for deliveries, whilst several players attended on Wednesday so they could see the operation in action and provide some support to the volunteers.
Since they began cooking a month ago, Compassion London has cooked 60,000 meals for the needy. Saracens is proud to support their ambition to double that number as quickly as possible.
