Crouch End and Shoreditch's Jealous galleries are hosting 'Swap Shop' exhibitions where visitors can exchange artworks for foodbank donations.

The galleries in Curtain Road and Park Road, have been acting as donation points for the Tottenham and Hornsey foodbanks for the past year, and are now offering works given by Jealous artists including Grow Up, Miss Bugs, Ben Eine and Charming Baker.

Donations can be either monetary or food, there's no minimum, and people are urged to visit either gallery and "walk away with an artwork".

A spokesperson said: "We continue to be humbled by the generosity of the public and the artists we have collaborated with to raise donations, money and awareness for this plight on our doorstep. Now more than ever, we all need to help out the ever-growing number of people going hungry on a daily basis."

‘Jealous Food Bank Swap Shop’ runs September 12-25 at Jealous East, 53 Curtain Road EC2A and Jealous North, 27 Park Rd, N8. https://jealousgallery.com/
