Lidl Barking

ICSS is a small, grassroots, 100% volunteer-run registered charity operating since 2004. We are a passionate group of volunteers helping children from vulnerable groups, such as refugees and children affected by domestic violence in East London, achieve their full potential through education, and in time, they can understand the value of giving back to society. We also operate a food bank serving referred families, providing food and other essentials.

HumDum UK, registered as a CIC in December 2019, has been actively serving hot meals and fresh food items in the Borough of Barking and Dagenham to approximately 1000 plus to families, seniors, homeless and the young adults struggling with food poverty on a weekly basis. The service is not limited to Food Service but is also extended to cooked and raw take away meals, health, hygiene, sanitation, and clothing support. Our open fridge policy allows anyone in need to collect food available in the open fridges at the Ripple Centre throughout the week.

Your Place is a charity dedicated to solving homelessness in east London, one person at a time. We’re here to offer hope, a home and a healing place to grow, where people who’ve lost their homes can get the individual support they need within a safe, caring community. We work closely with each person who comes through our doors, guiding them to meet their own needs through one-to-one and peer-led support. With specialist teams and a compassionate community around them, residents make their own journey to independent living — and to a better place. Your Place is based in the East London borough of Newham, which has the highest levels of homelessness in the country. The demand on our services is increasing, and each year, we support hundreds of individuals on their journey away from homelessness for good through accommodation, personalised support related to education and training, health and wellbeing, employability, budgeting and securing and sustaining a tenancy. "Your Place is more than just a roof over my head; it's a community that has given me hope, support, and a chance to start a new chapter in my life." - Halima
