Corporate events
Lambeth & Croydon Foodbank is one of the UK’s busiest food banks. We are at the forefront of efforts to reduce food insecurity, and volunteering with us offers insight into the issues, a chance to help in a very practical way, and the opportunity to form a stronger bond with work colleagues.

Corporate team volunteering day at our warehouse
We aim to give corporate teams a valuable and rewarding experience at our warehouse. Our warehouse volunteering day starts with a tour of the facilities and an introduction on the origins and work of Lambeth & Croydon Foodbank. Teams then take on tasks in the warehouse which could include, for example, unpacking and sorting incoming donations, shelf stacking to organise the large amount of food stored in the warehouse, and cleaning equipment. The work your team does during this time will directly help someone in need.
Details about the day
Location: Tulse Hill, SW2 3UP. We are a short walk away from Tulse Hill train station which is a direct 18-minute train ride from City Thameslink, Blackfriars and London Bridge train stations. We have parking in nearby streets and we are a quick bus ride away from Brixton tube station, which also has trains from Victoria station.
Days: Sessions typically run from 9.45am–1pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, with some flexibility to accommodate alternative days by prior arrangement.
Numbers: 5-12 people
Cost: We ask corporates volunteering with us to make a donation. Demand on our Foodbank is so high that asking corporates to donate is a way of ensuring we have enough food for our clients. The amount for organisations wanting to volunteer in our warehouse is £100pp and we require a £250 deposit to be paid at the time of booking. If you are a NFP or smaller business, we have special rates so please get in touch to discuss this further. These amounts are the minimum donation required but of course if you are able to, you could donate more! Everything makes such a difference to our work.

Supermarket Challenge
Our Supermarket Challenge is a perfect team-building activity for larger groups, accommodating 8-20 people. Working in teams, you’ll complete a number of shopping challenges to earn points. You can also grab some bonus points along the way by getting selfies at key Brixton landmarks or points of interest! After your challenge, you’ll return to the warehouse for a weigh‑in, followed by a short talk about our work and the level of need we’re currently seeing.
