Peckham Foodbank Robbed Early Sunday

Southwark Foodbank in Peckham, South London, experienced a devastating theft early on Sunday, resulting in the loss of thousands of pounds worth of food, hygiene products, and a charity laptop. The break-in, described as organized, caused significant damage to the property, costing an additional £600 in repairs.
