Bright Morning Star Prisons and Homelessness Outreach(BMS) support vulnerable people at their walk-in centres by offering advice, food and a free counselling service.

We're working with them to take leftovers from Greggs and Pret stores to BMS who give it out at their clinics.

Less food waste + food for homeless people = 👍👍


Start location: Greggs, 4 Electric Avenue, Brixton @ 6pm

⬇️DISTANCE: 4km - Here's a map

End location: Chandler Community Hall, Lambeth Walk, SE11 6DU.

Please arrive by 6pm - Greggs will be closed after that. If you go in and say you're collecting food for Bright Morning Star Prison and Homelessness Outreach, they should give you the leftovers. There may be quite a lot so just take what you can. 😊


Please bring:

🎒 a backpack/panniers (and maybe plastic bags for greasy pastry bags?) to transport the food.

🤿 a mask to wear in the shop.

We ideally need 3 people to sign up to transport the food - you can either run or ride, together or separately. If there are any problems, please call Modesta from Bright Morning Star who will meet you on 07432 690877.

Unfortunately Greggs was closed when I got there. I turned up before 6 as advised and checked for bank holiday times but still no luck.

Hi Edmund, Thanks for letting me know and really sorry about the wasted journey. BMS usually let me know if there are any changes.
