The residents of Greenland’s Ram Quarter development in Wandsworth again showed their generosity to the local community by making donations to a local foodbank charity before Christmas.

Ram Quarter is a thriving residential-led community on the banks of the river Wandle in Wandsworth Town, delivered by developer Greenland.  The development also offers many leisure, dining and lifestyle outlets not only to residents but also to visitors from around London and further afield.  The development has resurrected the site of the former Young's brewery in Wandsworth Town, and comprises stunning award-winning new-build and refurbished homes in its restored listed buildings.

Before Christmas each year the management at Ram Quarter organises opportunities for residents to contribute to charities which carry out important work in London, and closer to home near the development.  Ram Quarter residents generously donated toys to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, and a large amount of food to the local Wandsworth Foodbank charity.

Wandsworth Foodbank (part of the Trussell Trust network) supports people and families the year round in need of emergency food supplies, toiletries and advice.  The charity also works in partnership with local churches to run welcome centres in Wandsworth.  The kindness of the local community to give time, food and money is hugely important, especially at Christmas when budgets are tight and the weather is often at its coldest.  A foodbank collection station was opened at Ram Quarter in December to enable residents to support the charity, and a representative of the charity estimated that Ram Quarter's donations had equalled almost two hundred meals.

A representative of Wandsworth Foodbank said: "It is wonderful to see so many neighbours and residents doing their best to help those who are less fortunate.  We try to ensure that everyone who comes to the foodbank for help has enough food and essentials.  We're very grateful to everyone who donated, and we very much appreciate the kind support of the residents and management at Ram Quarter."
