Here is a snippet from the BBC interview with Brian Vincent-Vega about the London Royals' Soup Kitchen.
Reporter: What was the idea behind the soup kitchen?
BVV: We receive a lot of love from this community and I thought we needed to return the love as well. I realize that I'm very privileged to be in the position I am in, and I should use that privilege to help people who aren't as fortunate. As an athlete I know how important proper nutrition is and when I looked at the numbers I was surprised by the number of people in London-especially kids-struggle with getting food every day.
Reporter: So how did this whole event come to fruition?
BVV: Well I came up with the idea and just started spreading around I guess. And once all the players were on board, all we had to do was convince the front office to make it happen.
Brian Vincent-Vega was on stove duty most of the time, cooking up beans and eggs. It was a very chaotic morning, and BVV even had to make an emergency trip to a nearby Lidl after they ran all out of eggs. It all worked out at the end however, and Brian and some of his teammates took a couple kids out to play some 5 a side football after.
