Mobile Foodbank Waltham Forest Supports Over 200 Residents

More than 200 local residents benefited from the latest Tarem Services Mobile Foodbank distribution in Waltham Forest, held on Thursday 2 July at Lloyd Park Children’s Centre through a partnership between Tarem Services Limited, Morgan Sindall Construction and Aden Contracting Limited.

Supporting Local Families

Around 80 bags of essential food were distributed, with a further 20 bags reserved for families who were unable to attend. With each bag providing enough food to feed a minimum of two people, the distribution will benefit at least 200 local residents facing food insecurity in Waltham Forest.

The event was attended by the Mayor of Waltham Forest, Cllr Marcelo Hart-Camus, who joined volunteers in distributing food bags and meeting local residents.

Held on a warm and sunny day, the distribution demonstrated the positive impact that businesses, community organisations and local partners can achieve by working together to support local families.

The Work Continues: 27 Years of Tarem Services

On 13 May 2026, social enterprise cleaning company Tarem Services marked 27 years of using business as a force for positive social change.

Founded in 1999, Tarem Services was established with a clear mission: to tackle in-work poverty, particularly among cleaners and other blue-collar workers whose essential contributions are often overlooked. That mission remains at the heart of the company today.

Over the past 27 years, Tarem Services has combined professional cleaning and labour services with a commitment to fair wages, profit sharing, employee ownership, environmental responsibility, and community support. This approach reflects the belief that meaningful work should provide dignity, stability, and opportunity.

In 2024, Tarem Services expanded its social mission through the launch of its Mobile Foodbank initiative, which has already supported more than 2,088 individuals facing food insecurity.

While industries, communities, and the challenges people face have evolved over nearly three decades, one principle has remained constant: a commitment to putting people first.

Tarem Services is grateful to every employee, client, partner, and supporter who has contributed to this journey.

Twenty-seven years on, the mission remains as important as ever.

And the work continues.
