TG Lynes helps community with foodbank donation

Kind-hearted employees at an Enfield business have donated more than £400 worth of food and everyday essentials to help people in need in the area as the cost of living crisis bites.

TG Lynes, based on Brancroft Way, collected items including tinned and dried food as well as toilet paper and cleaning equipment.

The goods were taken to North Enfield Foodbank to help people in crisis.

The foodbank is part of The Trussell Trust network and provided 14,715 people with three-day emergency parcels during 2021.

Laura Janaway, Marketing Manager at heating, plumbing and air movement materials supplier TG Lynes, said: “We’re delighted to be able to make this significant donation to North Enfield Foodbank.

“We ask our people for donations for the foodbank at least once a year and they are always extremely generous.

“As a business, we are fully committed to being involved in the local community and helping where we can.

“We have also recently been involved in litter picks in the local area, as well as helping local schools with materials during the pandemic.”

North Enfield Foodbank handed out 200 tonnes of food and essential items last year.

José Soares, North Enfield Foodbank Manager, said: “We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry.

“That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis.

“We’re very grateful to the employees at TG Lynes for getting involved with our work.”

TG Lynes stocks industry leading brands and supplies thousands of products including valves, steel and copper tubes and fittings, press systems, composite and plastic plumbing, drainage solutions and support systems and tooling. An extensive plant hire service is also available.

The business is this year celebrating its 110th anniversary.
