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 opened Northolt Food Hun on 2nd December 2022 at Viking Community Centre in Northolt. We currently have 100 families we support and also have Salvation Army in Greenford to support (30) families. We are a non profitable charity and solely rely on donations from local supermarkets etc. we do have lions club Wembley supporting us over the last few weeks. We would very much like support from Neighbourly to support our food hub too. We have families who are vegetarian, halal and non halal. We would accept meat, bakery, tinned food, fruit and vegetables etc. we would like to thank you in advance considering to support our food hub. Miss Ragini Patel BEM Ps I have been honoured by the queen earlier last year for my continued support in the communities. We receive support of surplus food from Farm Foods in Yiewsley, Sainsbury’s local in Northolt and Wenzels both in Greenford and Northolt. We support organisations such as Jalaram Mandir with bakery items, church in Wembley every Saturday with Wenzels bakery and we support Salvation Army in Greenford - Kath, and a hotel locally where it has asylum seekers who are so grateful for all surplus food - halal only. We are extending our supporting to surrounding areas/boroughs too. We would like to request donations from any supermarkets, nandos, or restaurants that have any surplus food so that we are able to support more charities, families etc.
