St John The Evangelist, Hildenborough
Tonbridge, UK
We are an active church at the heart of our local community, committed to serving those around us in practical and meaningful ways.
Our Foodbank currently supports over 100 individuals each week, including some vulnerable families and individuals. Every Tuesday, we distribute bags containing essential ambient food and personal hygiene products, alongside an increasing range of fresh food items to promote healthier living.
This year marks our third season of running a Warm Hub. Every Wednesday lunchtime, we provide free homemade soup, rolls, dessert, and drinks. This initiative not only offers nutritious meals—often made from food that would otherwise go to waste—but also provides a welcoming space for local people to connect, especially during the colder months. The Warm Hub has grown in popularity, with visitor numbers steadily increasing.
For young people, we run two key initiatives during term time. On alternate Fridays, we host a Youth Café for ages 10–18, offering free food, drinks, crafts, and games in a safe, supportive environment after school. We also run a fortnightly Youth Club for the same age group, with themed evenings such as animal encounters, movie nights, sports, drama, crafts, and shared meals.
All of these initiatives are offered on a non-profit basis. At present, the church fully funds them, but in order to continue—and expand—these vital community services, we are actively seeking additional support and partnerships.

Sevenoaks Larder
Sevenoaks, UK
The Sevenoaks Larder (formerly The Lockdown Larder) helps residents of Sevenoaks (including Dunton Green, Kemsing, Otford, Riverhead, Seal, Sundridge, Weald) who are struggling to pay for their weekly food shop.
Set up by the Care for Our Community Team in Sevenoaks, we want to spread a message of hope and compassion, especially during these difficult times. We believe that a single action can make a difference in the community, and collective actions can make the world a better place.
The Sevenoaks Larder will supply a basket of fresh & packaged produce of their choice, including meat, fish, fruit & vegetables, to help the household out, until they are able to get back on their feet again.
Our team of volunteers will deliver these items for free, directly to their homes.
