Alton: Community kitchen helps feed one of UK's largest housing estates

A community kitchen provides hundreds of free meals a week for those in need on one of the UK's largest housing estates.

Chantelle Bent set up Chantelle’s Community Kitchen in Roehampton, south-west London, in August.

It now provides more than 200 free meals a week to the community to eat in or take away. A lot of the work is focused on the Alton housing estate - one of the largest in the UK.

"I wanted to help people to eat healthy, parents are sacrificing to feed children sometimes and it didn't sit right with me," said Ms Bent.
