Lily Allen praised by fans after donating £650 worth of goods to charity food drive

Lily Allen has been praised by fans after donating £650 worth of goods to a charity food drive.

The singer-turned-actress, 38, who is currently starring in her new West End play The Pillowman, made the generous donation to Depher, an emergency works charity aimed at helping the elderly and disabled.

Taking to Twitter, the founder of the company, James, thanked the star, emphasising that her help will make all the difference.

He wrote: ‘Off to the #fooddrive with this collection, a massive thank you @lilyallen, your support purchased this order, and it will supply much more.

‘Tonight many elderly, vulnerable and disabled people will eat. Thank you once again ❤️’.

Alongside the post, James attached two images, one showing a van full of food, and another showing the receipt for her order.

The total amount came to £643.29.

Fans were quick to thank Lily for her help, heaping praise on the singer.

‘Nice one @lilyallen’, and ‘THANKS to you both’, another said. 

A third added: ‘Thank you for supporting a brilliant charity, where you know every single penny will go to someone in need.’

‘Amazing Lily Allen, thank you x’, a fourth said. 

It comes after she handed out her advice to Glastonbury festival goers about how to cope with the post-partying ‘comedown’.

Lily is no stranger to the buzz of the hotly-anticipated festival as she has both attended and performed there many times over the years.

Last year, she joined Olivia Rodrigo on stage as a surprise guest to perform her hit F**k You, and previously performed at the festival in 2007 and 2009.

Though Lily was absent from Glastonbury this year amid her leading West End role in The Pillowman, she still made sure to give out some advice to any festival-goers. 

Taking to Twitter, Lily warned that it could take up to a month to recover from the hotly-anticipated music festival and shared her top tips for a speedy recuperation.

Lily, who has been sober for four years, wrote: ‘Thoughts are with those starting their post Glastonbury comedowns today, YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS.

‘It will take somewhere between a week and month depending on your age and what exactly you may have consumed, but you will get through this.’

‘Start with a good fry up, some electrolytes, berocca, plenty of water and stay away from anything like Grey’s Anatomy or The Notebook,’ she added in a second tweet.

Glastonbury came to an epic close on Sunday evening with a headlining set from Elton John in what was the star’s final ever UK show.

But Lily was absent from the festival this year as she has been busy taking to the stage in the West End run of The Pillowman.

She previously made her West End debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story and has now returned to the stage in Martin McDonagh’s play The Pillowman.

Lily is the first woman to take on the leading role of Katurian in the revival of the 2003 play, which follows the fiction writer as she is imprisoned by a totalitarian state.

Starring opposite Steve Pemberton, who plays Tupolski and Matthew Tennyson, who stars as Michael, Lily plays the role that had been previously played by David Tennant twenty years ago.

Speaking about the decision to cast a woman in the role, Lily told The Telegraph: ‘I think it will add an extra layer of horror, because we’re not used to seeing women being beaten up.

‘It will be shocking, in that sense. I also feel that men don’t necessarily get the same c**p for their artistic output that women do.’
