We are a registered charity located in Stratford, East London. Our mission is to support individuals grappling with mental health issues, disabilities, and homelessness. we provide a clothing and food bank, offer assistance for physical and mental health challenges, and maintain a free online directory of support services on our website.
Our commitment extends beyond immediate relief; we aim to lift individuals out of homelessness permanently and advocate for the systemic changes required to address the issue at its root.
Our clothing bank and food banks are currently operating in Redbridge, Ilford and Newham , Stratford and are run by volunteers.
Our clients are deemed as legally homeless, this can be anyone who is laterally sleeping rough on the streets, anyone who becomes homeless due to their mental health or disabilities and even those fleeing persecution and violence such as Asylum seekers, refugees and also women and single mothers with children fleeing domestic violence.
Clients are identified through established, recognised and regulated pathways and services such as the NHS, third sector organisations such as Shelter and charities that support women fleeing domestic violence.
Our services are free, and we rely mostly on the goodwill and generosity of family, freinds and the general public to help with the clothing and food donations.
We have partnered with a number of local organisations who support us with our cause. some of these are SHP , The Welcome project and Barclays Bank Real Estate Team who can be seen supporting us in the pictures provided.

Carpenters Cafe
London, UK
Carpenters Café, started by some residents of Carpenters Estate and Trinity Chapel London. The project opened on 5th June 2007 initially as a feeding project targeting the homeless. However over the years, as a result of the current economic climate, we now support a wide variety of groups which include anyone needing a helping hand. We also receive and send referrals to other organizations to provide support.
Carpenters Café main objectives are:-
• To provide a dinning place that is warm, clean and friendly where people can come and sit, make friends and share a meal
• To give free of charge, hot or cold drinks, sandwiches, fruit and vegetables and food packs subject to availability.
• To share out household items, clothing, footwear, books, etc that have been donated to Carpenters Café for the benefit of the needy.
• To offer support and encouragement with access to computer facilities for job search and basic IT training.
• Volunteering services include distribution of advice and information leaflets on healthy eating and lifestyle, a foot pampering session on the last Tuesday of every month and art classes every other Tuesday.
The service is delivered by a strong team of volunteers who are reliable and supportive of the charitable aims of the organisation and who share a desire to offer help and assistance to people.
We are open to the public every Tuesday from 10am – 12pm.
