Sainsbury's Balham

Falcon Grove is a centre which supports young people who have previously been in care and are no living independently in various settings in the community. The centre supports over 500 young people and gives support and advice through a Personal Advisor. Many of the young people are on limited budgets and face additional challenges in light of the current cost of living crisis. The centre would like to establish a larder where young people are able to access packaged and fresh food, as well as toiletries, in cases where they are short of funds to buy food.

The Positive Network Centre is a Community Integrated Care centre that provides a number of day services for predominately African/African-Caribbean elderly and young people. Our hugely popular day centre aims to provide the quality of life for older people and those with long suffering disabilities: physical, mental, learning and sensory. We provide recreational and leisure activities and a weekly luncheon club “Calypso Kitchen” that provides wholesome and tasty freshly cooked meals with a Caribbean influence. Our Food Bank at Positive Network helps and supports the local community and those that find it difficult to do weekly shops due to the Covid-19 outbreak. We supply food for our members and other members of the local community that need support. The Positive Network Centre is a registered charity and social enterprise that is run by a management Committee.
