Lorraine Tabone, founder of the charity Lola's Homeless, dedicated her life to providing support and resources for the homeless in the London borough of Newham. Initiated after encountering a young girl in distress, she created a grassroots initiative that mobilized volunteers to distribute food, clothing, and essential supplies. Despite personal challenges such as dyslexia and ADHD, Lorraine's unwavering commitment to her community made a lasting impact. Her hands-on approach and personal connection with the individuals she served highlighted her compassion and determination to improve lives, showcasing a powerful legacy of empathy and community spirit.
Look, I don't have much, she told me, but what I do have, I'll share. The people we serve are my people. Someone's got to look out for them.
Frustrated by the cuts to frontline services, Lorraine rented a garage on her council estate and steadily built a network of volunteers.
