Make content about: Vicki turned an old toilet into a club

Vicki set up a youth club in an old toilet block, but rising hardship turned it into an essential food bank.

This story

In 1996, Vicki founded an after-school youth club in an old public toilet block in London after a nearby centre closed. Over the years, cooking sessions evolved into providing food parcels and meals for dozens of local families facing financial strain. The centre is now fundraising to convert its storeroom into a larger kitchen so more children can cook and eat.
