Legendary former midfielder and Tottenham Hotspur Ambassador Ossie Ardiles joined fans and volunteers as they delivered thousands of flyers promoting organisations offering free food to residents in N15, N17 and N22.
Foodbanks provide emergency food and support to people living in poverty – currently more than 14 million people in the UK – including 4.5 million children.

Ossie spent the morning talking to volunteers and thanking them for their support, as well as having socially distanced photos.
In January 2021, the club launched a fundraising initiative to support North Enfield and Tottenham Foodbanks. The club and its fans are long-term supporters of the Foodbanks, assisting local people living in crisis. During the COVID-19 pandemic demand for foodbanks has risen by approximately 300%.
Ossie said:
“After what has been an incredibly challenging year, it was a privilege to join volunteers today and help distribute flyers within the community. Tottenham Foodbank does an absolutely incredible job in supporting people and it’s vital we continue to raise as much awareness and funds as possible to ensure their great work continues.”
