Steph Holgate - Founder and chair of trustees

I grew up in Downham and have never left. I am passionate about helping the people of Downham and ensuring the community thrives. During the Covid pandemic people were falling into poverty, so I decided to do something about it. In 2020 I started Downham Aid from my house, and later on formed The Gleaning Pantry, which is now a thriving social supermarket which is accessible to those that need it. Stephanie Holgate
