More than food
Our Foodbank has strong links with other groups and organisations who can offer advice and support.
On this page:
More than food
Our foodbank is running a More Than Food programme. This means that we are providing additional support alongside emergency food, to help people address the underlying issues behind their crisis.
Our particular thanks go to the Walcott Foundation for providing the funding for advice workers from Centre 70 or Brixton Advice team at food bank sessions. No appointment is required and sessions are open to those in the community, not just food bank clients.
Little Village
Little Village makes a big difference to families with babies and young children living in poverty across London. If you have children under 5 we can make a referral to Little Village for Mums, Dads and carers who need help with clothes, books and toys for them.
Christians Against Poverty
We have partnered with Christians Against Poverty (CAP) to provide help for those weighed down by debt. CAP is an award winning debt counselling service that works closely with clients, providing expert advice as they begin their journey out of debt. Once contact is made, your local debt centre manager will guide you through the process, taking away pressure and finding the best option for you.
If you would like to refer a client to CAP, click here for more information. If you would like help with your debt, please call 0800 328 006.
