Our vision is a future where no one goes to bed hungry, and food banks are no longer needed. Until that day, we will relentlessly battle food poverty across London and Hertfordshire, supplying food banks with targeted food, toiletries and household items, free of charge.

Beneficiaries
Food insecurity affects around 15% of households in the UK. That’s equivalent to 8 million adults and 3 million children unable to afford basic groceries. Rising food prices, with a 23-25% increase over two years, put a further strain on already vulnerable families. Recent reports indicate that 88% of teachers are seeing children coming to school hungry, leading to tiredness, distraction, and disruptive behaviour. Our work is critical in providing relief to families facing such challenges.
Recognising that food banks often receive a surplus of some items and too little of others, we developed a system where food banks select from a curated list of over 100 essentials, allowing them to receive exactly what they need. We offer a wide range of core items including eggs, fruit and vegetables, protein, carbohydrates, grains and pulses. We also provide hard-to-source items like cooking oil, spices and dignity-related toiletries which are often unavailable to charities.
