Pecan is a community charity based in Southwark, working in this and neighbouring boroughs. We support local people who are unemployed, isolated, ex-offenders, or affected by benefit changes or low income, and empower women facing multiple barriers. Services include employment programmes, training, one-to-one support, coaching, food programmes and community activities. We have recently expanded to serve our community more and we are looking for more ways to fight hunger and food insecurity in Southwark and neighbouring areas. We have launched Peckham Pantry where community members can have access to healthy and affordable groceries as part of their weekly household shopping. We need your excess food supply to meet the needs of an increasing number of members. See link below for more information.

We are a crisis support service offering wrap-around services including debt advice, welfare benefit advice, housing and immigration support, business advice, holiday and after school provision, women's groups, a food bank and a social supermarket. We provide translation services to ensure our charity guests feel understood and supported.
