8000 people in Bromley needed emergency food last year. No one should have to go hungry. Anyone can suddenly find themselves struggling - redundancy, relationship breakdown, illness and accidents can all cause finances to be turned upside down. For those reliant on social security payments life is even tougher, with rises in bills, food and transport making ends meet is a constant challenge. In Bromley Borough 16% of residents live in poverty and 20% of children.

With your help we provide 3 days worth of nutritionally balanced food for every household in need along with a supermarket voucher to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and dairy of their choice. We work closely with other local organisations to signpost to advice and support in a range of areas including benefits, housing, immigration and mental health. Our centre volunteers spend time speaking to clients, providing support and guidance.
