FOOD BANK VOLUNTARY SERVICE SUPPORT

We attended to the needs of food bank beneficiaries and also helped and supported in collecting food that was donated by shoppers and handling of the Fundraising Collection box stationed at the Asda on Smithdown Road in Liverpool.

2015

Musical Attack Against Poverty Festival (MAPFEST) is a music concert project under the LSFH umbrella that focuses on music activities in the community. It’s about using the Power of Music and Entertainment as a tool towards poverty reduction with a specific emphasis on tackling child poverty in the UK.

We collaborated with IMAGINE IF TRUST, AFROBEATS and LUMA CREATIONS, all Liverpool-based organisations. It was a VOLUNTARILY-POWERED PROJECT without any funding to raise funds in the community for SAVE THE CHILDREN UK, Love Congo and Little People In Need.

We held our first MAPFEST on the 5th July 2015 and without the emerging artists, sound-engineers and our partners who voluntarily gave their talents towards the development of Humanity and Mankind, by helping us put together these live musical performances, this event could not have been possible. A special thanks goes to Frontline Church Liverpool who kindly provided the venue for the event free of charge.
