Roots4Life

Roots4Life charity improves social welfare mainly but not exclusively in the areas of food insecurity and social isolation. Theses problems are greater in areas of poverty and lead to increased levels of chronic health conditions and disease. We are currently delivering meals to vulnerable people who have limited access to food in the wake of Covid-19.
