At least 2 hours before the food bank opens, the queues start to form. By the time the shop opens, this queue can be well over100 people strong.

During the lockdown many of us had to stay at home, but whenever there is a crisis in RBKC that community spirit comes to the fore! In addition to the front line services you may have heard about, one of the smaller, local charities supporting residents is Dads House. Founded by William McGranaghan, known locally as Billy.

My name is James and I’m a single father who’s looked after his son, Freddie, since he was 3 1/2 months old.

Freddie was born in April to Louise and I. Labour took 44 hours. It started on the Sunday night. When Louise elbowed me in bed and said, 'it's game time'. She was right, and by midday on Monday we were in the back of an Uber to the hospital in London.

Of course we had had the baby naming conversations. It took a few seconds to agree on girls names: she suggested one, I suggested one and we both liked them. Done. Boys names were harder and we had a list of about twenty.

One sunny day in August 3 months after Freddie was born Louise was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade IV. The medical term for a terminal brain cancer with a life expectancy of between 1 and 2 years.

Louise was such a warm, bubbly, loving person. You always hear good about those that die, especially those that die young. In this case I swear on my life this is true.

Father’s Day came and went on Sunday 16th June, wow how time flies!! I am very lucky that my son made me a card and gave me a lovely present. It was so very kind of him and makes me feel very loved and special.
