Stevenage FC has once again stepped up to help our community - this time by hosting Feed Up Warm Up's drop-in centre.

The club's new North Stand will be the site of the charity that supports the homeless and others in need.

Later this month the Lamex Stadium will provide a platform for people in need to access hot food, have a warm drink, get a haircut, pick up some clothes or toiletries and to meet Feed Up Warm Up's outstanding volunteers team.

"Frankly I got fed up looking at this great £2 million facility we had built standing empty," said Boro chairman Phil Wallace.

"It took me five years to circumnavigate all kinds of obstacles to build it and it is a privilege to use it for the good of the community once a week.

"The Feed Up, Warm Up charity has a great reputation for providing food and temporary shelter to those most in need and when I read they needed a facility in Stevenage, I made contact.

"The venue is fantastic and I am delighted that it will bring something to look forward to once a week for those in our community that need help."

The charity, formed in 2018, will be moving from the St Andrew & St George Church to the League Two club.
