I have a freezer full of food to donate BUT I haven't found a food bank that will take frozen food. I also haven't found one that will let me drop off evenings or weekends. I'm at work during the day. 

Added complication its I don't have a car, I'll be bringing it by taxi. 

Anyone have sensible suggestions?

There are a number of food banks in N and E London. Maybe easier to goggle them or look up Hackney Council's list of warm hubs and work your way through those who also have food banks etc. I think it is also the Trussell Trust that operates some food banks.

I've done this but haven't found one in Hackney that takes frozen food

I'd have thought frozen food wouldn't be accepted anywhere, because you couldn't tell if it had been thawed (and if so for how long) and then refrozen.

For some things this probably  wouldn't matter, except for possible loss of  quality (?) but for other things it could be a health hazard.

Worth a try, they take frozen food and they collect within the M25

If you input SE15 into the search on this website it brings up a local pantry that takes frozen food

Thank you for trying but I'd already looked at these and they collect from businesses/have a minimum weight donation.

Cheers. I'll try calling them in the half term. 

Thank you. That's very kind of you but I'm bringing it over from Hackney!

Albrighton do have freezers and give out frozen food. Definitely worth a try.

Thanks for the tip - very helpful. I'm hoping to take it down next week. Xx

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
