Refugee Community Kitchen also helping in the streets of Camden
After volunteering at the camps of Calais and Dunkirk in France, they bring their help to those who have nothing in the streets of Camden. For about nine weeks now, the Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK) has been offering – along with the local NGO Streets Kitchen – hot meals and support to those who most need it. We met Janie Mac, one of the coordinators, on a cold Wednesday night just outside Camden Town tube station where a temporary “canteen” has been set up. Janie says RCK gives people essential support that the government simply fails to provide.
After Camden the organisation wants to expand into other areas of London.
