On Monday 27th September  2021 my wife and I attended an Investiture at Westminster Abbey as I was awarded the British Empire Medal ( BEM ) in the queens Birthday Honours List for services during Covid-19 to rough sleepers, frontline workers and families in need. The boroughs that I worked in  were Newham, Waltham Forest and Redbridge. My award  was presented by Sir Kenneth Olisa Lord- Lieutenant to Greater London on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen.

 Tesco , Leytonstone donated gifts towards staff at Whipps Cross Hospital ,and Easter Eggs.  FTS ALSO bought  enough eggs to give to every nurse and doctor in the hospital who were doing an amazing job throughout the pandemic. 2020...

FTS brought all kinds of donated food to staff working at Whipps Cross  Hospital ,Newham General and Homerton Hospital throughout Covid -19. Considering the scale of of the pandemic this was the least FTS could do to let the staff know that the public were thinking of them. 

FTS runs a food bank which feeds families and individuals living in Newham, Waltham Forest , Redbridge , Baking & Dagenham and Hackney. Frank delivers the food by car and relies on donations for fuel and car maintenance which makes this possible for him to do.
