00:31 So what we're doing here today is a food drive that not only stretches throughout the day

00:37 but also into the evening. There's a gig in the evening as well.

00:40 So we're raising money and there's a food drop.

00:43 So people came, like last year was the first time we did it, with Aisling.

00:47 And Aisling came to us last year and said, "Oh, would you like to do this food drive

00:51 that I do for Hackney Food Bank and the Trussell Trust?"

00:53 And we said yes. And then last year, 1.3 metric tonnes of food were donated.

01:01 1.3 metric tonnes of food.

01:04 I actually like to use the word a shit-tonne of food, but that's the technical term.

01:10 But I... and this year... so we've got that to reach.

01:14 I'm quite... I'm quite positive we might exceed that.

01:19 We've also raised just under £3,000 and we have already this year raised £26,000

01:27 and counting for the Hackney Food Bank and the Trussell Trust.

01:31 We are here today for a little... we have a food bank. We're giving to charity.

01:35 We have loads of people here coming in with donations.

01:38 They're coming in with food, accessories.

01:41 And basically we're going to have a grand and Christmassy time.

01:44 And then tonight there's a show on.

01:47 It's a lovely event because celebrities mingle with people that are just coming down

01:52 and celebrities kind of attract people to come in here.

01:56 And then they can donate... people donate food, donate kind of money as well.

02:02 So it's kind of like... it's a really lovely event to be part of.

02:06 Well, you know, no one is more famous than Santa Claus.

02:10 But it's good that they're all coming out, you know.

02:12 They're using their fame to help people give to people who really need it in Christmas

02:18 because Christmas is the best time of year and it should be nice for everybody.

02:24 And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day.
