This Foodbank is run by volunteers for anyone in need. We give our food and personal items. We open on Tuesdays and Fridays and on the first and third Saturday of each month. We have helped approximately 1400 times since opening in the first lockdown in 2020. We give out long life food and fresh food if we have it.

Sufra is a charity in North West London that prevents hunger, fights poverty and builds community. With the help of our volunteers and partners, we coordinate a network of food banks, kitchens, a community shop and café. These act as a gateway for guests to access more holistic support – including welfare advice, asylum support and our award-winning community garden. We aim to work with our guests to find solutions to their challenges together, whilst campaigning against the causes of hunger and poverty.
