How our Food Club is making a difference

Since it launched in September 2022, our Community Food Club has served 457 residents with discounted food and essentials! It was also recently featured in The Times.

Our Food Club provides an important option for people struggling with the Cost-of-Living crisis even though many of them are working. For £5 fee they receive 20 tokens to buy items they need ranging from fresh fruit and vegetables to cleaning products, which typically are worth over £20.

Can you gift a child joy this Christmas?

The festive season should be a time of joy. But this year, whilst trying to recover from the pandemic and struggling with the rising cost of living, many families in Newham are having to make heartbreaking decisions on whether to put food on the table or warm up their home or watch their child wake up on Christmas morning to no gifts, through no fault of their own.

That’s why we’re inviting you to support our Christmas Joy Appeal and help us gift joy to a child in need!
