THE SHEPPERTON LOCKDOWN DOORSTEPS PROJECT STARTED AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY 2020, IN THE THICK OF LOCKDOWN AND FINISHED 8 WEEKS LATER. 

WE HAD BEEN THINKING OF WHAT WE COULD DO TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY OF SHEPPERTON, DURING LOCKDOWN.  IT SEEMED LIKE THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE SOME FUNDS FOR 'BAGS OF FOOD' RUN BY JUBILEE CHURCH IN SHEPPERTON AS THEY ARE THE SOLE PROVIDER OF FOOD BANK SERVICES TO THE TW17 POSTCODE AREA.

​

THE IDEA WAS SIMPLE, WE TAKE A PHOTO OF A HOUSEHOLD, ON THE DOORSTEP OF THEIR HOME AND IN RETURN FOR A DIGITAL COPY OF THE PHOTOGRAPH, THE DONATE TO BAGS OF FOOD, EITHER FINANCIALLY, THROUGH OUR JUST GIVING PAGE, OR IN DATE FOOD/TOILETRIES.

​

THE RESPONSE BLEW US AWAY. WE HAD TO HIRE TWO EXTRA PHOTOGRAPHERS, SUCH WAS THE DEMAND.  WE RAISED JUST UNDER £5000 AND PHOTOGRAPHED AROUND 250 HOUSEHOLDS, BUSINESSES AND INSTITUTIONS.
