Humans of Bonny Downs

Meet John

  • 12 March 202522 August 2025
“My life is better because of Bonny Downs.”

When John first came out of jail, he used Bonny Down’s foodbank. The wraparound advice and support that came with it helped him turn his life around and gain work as a handyman. John wanted a way to give back to the community, so has been volunteering for our Foodbank and Food Club.

Meet Varsha

  • 4 March 202522 August 2025
“Bonny Downs is my support system; it has given me a community and a big family.”

Varsha moved to East Ham during the pandemic and struggled with food insecurity and support for her child with SEND. She was referred to our Foodbank, where she received the emergency food parcel and a kind listening ear. This helped her access further support with nappies, children’s clothing, attending skills courses and a supportive community through our Family Hub, where she currently volunteers.

77-year-old Rose is a regular at our Zumba sessions and volunteers for our CommuniTEA Café weekly. She enjoys meeting people, telling them about activities that might interest them and making them feel cheerful.
