London Homeless Welfare Team
London, UK
We are a multi-award-winning, volunteer-led Community Interest Company: a small team of unpaid volunteers providing around 200 meals a week, about 10,400 a year, for people sleeping rough or vulnerable across London. We have gone out every week since 2020, with zero profit and nobody paid.
Our work has two strands:
• Street outreach: trained volunteers give out hot meals, clothing and care bags (toiletries, food, socks, underwear and more), offer mental health support and signpost people to shelter, health and recovery services.
• Food redistribution: we collect surplus food from Sainsbury's and M&S through Neighbourly and deliver it to homeless shelters and food banks. More than 45,000 meals have been collected through Neighbourly so far.

• Counselling and addiction support and referrals

Holy Trinity Foodbank Stroud Green
London, UK
Holy Trinity Foodbank Stroud Green is an independent foodbank based at Holy Trinity Church Hall on Stapleton Hall Road, London, N4. Founded in August 2013 to support individuals and families struggling to access/afford food, we offer food support for residents of Stroud Green (and adjacent areas).
We work with local agencies and organisations to identify those needing help for themselves and their families, and also accept clients on a self-referral basis. We currently assist over 250 individuals per week.
We are based at, and kindly hosted by, Holy Trinity Church Stroud Green. We serve clients of all faiths or none, and of all nationalities, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, and abilities. Everyone is welcome, and our team will always behave with respect, warmth, and courtesy.
We are very fortunate to have a supportive local community which donates food, and also money so that we are able to afford the substantial quantity of food we need to buy to ensure that we can continue to offer help where it is needed.
We are also keen to play our part in reducing food waste, which is a particularly difficult issue to see when we know so many lack nutritious food. We are grateful to the Felix Project and our supermarket partners via Fareshare and Neighbourly - Sainsbury's in Crouch Hill, Crouch End, Hornsey, & Wood Green; Aldi Harringay; Lidl Finsbury Park, Stroud Green, & Wood Green; Gail's Bakery Finsbury Park; and Waitrose Crouch End & Holloway - for donating their surplus and/or front-of-store donations.
We are open on Sundays from 1.30-3.30pm, and can accept food/toiletry donations during this period and on Thursday mornings from 10-11am. To make a monetary donation, please contact donatehtf@gmail.com.
