Brighton Table Tennis Club has started a food distribution service from the car park at the back of the club on Upper Bedford Street/ St George’s Terrace. Every week day between 1-4pm we are providing a food package for people who are currently struggling as a result of the impact of the pandemic crisis and have been invited or referred to the BTTC Food Hub.
At present it is mainly a collection only service but we can arrange some deliveries for some people unable to have food collected. When collecting for yourself or others, please observe our simple common sense rules for social distancing and hygiene so that everyone feels as protected as possible.
Thanks to the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership, FareShare Sussex, Sussex Gleaning Network, The Real Junk Food Project Brighton, Brighton Food Factory and Brighton & Hove City Council for food donations.
For those unable to collect, please telephone the BTTC Food Hub on 01273 670145 between 1pm and 4pm on weekdays.
If you have any questions please email info@brightontabletennisclub.com
