M&S Ealing Broadway

With the levels of unemployment, along with the number of low-paid employees living in Brent, many residents find themselves at a crisis point. They are unable to feed their families and provide for life’s basic needs. There may, however, be many other challenges within the family, which may contribute to the family crisis. It is bearing this in mind that the Centre of Help and Hope was conceived. The Centre provides the following services: Food bank Clothing hub Befriending service Gardening services Counselling services Light domestic help Vocational skills Intentional parenting courses

We operate from the Hanwell SDA Church community ministries department. On Sundays we provide our homeless person and other vulnerable members of the community grab and go bags with food items. We are also on Ealing Councils "Where to eat" list. Our overarching aim is love for God and our fellow men and to give glory to him. Covid19 Update Unfortunately due to the pandemic we are not currently having any sit down meals. We still hand out grab and go bags to the vulnerable who are able to come but equally we are able to drop bags off. All our volunteers wear the appropriate PPE and we requests that our guests also wear masks.

We feed more than 250 homeless people every week, as well as catering for vulnerable families with children. We organise soup kitchen, drop-in centres, women and children club, pension club. We hope to widen our project by hosting a dementia club for the residents.
