Sleep Warm UK is a charity tackling two critical issues: food insecurity and homelessness across the UK. We coordinate the redistribution of surplus food from major retailers to food banks, having saved 160,000 meals across London during the cost of living crisis. Additionally, we run sleeping bag distribution campaigns for rough sleepers, including the largest sleeping bag outreach in British history which distributed 385 sleeping bags since December 2024. Our aim isn't to encourage or endorse rough sleeping, but to make the streets survivable during the winter season. To date, we have provided 1,119 sleeping bags to homeless individuals across eight UK cities.

Living in a severely deprived community we have a significant number of children who come from low income families living in overcrowded conditions and below the breadline. Many of our parents frequent the local food bank and rely on government food packs to feed their children. Pupils come to school hungry and unable to focus in class due to fatigue and poor health thus affecting their progress academically as members of staff are having to discreetly take children out of class to offer breakfast and snacks. Breakfast club is a lifeline for many and a comfort in these unprecedented times. We are a primary school in the heart of Brick Lane London E1 We help our pupil premium families with low income and families in hardship and financial difficulties as well as supporting our breakfast club and after school tea time club We help families and students at our school. We identify families in need who are pupil premium and on low income. We need help with food parcels, activities for children such as tutoring, sports and SEND support- for pupils and parents/carers We do not charge for any food parcels.

Our covid-19 food programme is for the people who are homeless, vulnerable and in emergency need. We are planning to operate a small warehouse facility where we store donated food for distribution. The program is actively seeking help from the donors, local food growers, retailers, wholesalers, and processors. Our project is open to everyone and not aimed at a specific group of people. We urge all well-off people and organisations to come forward and donate generously for the most needy people in this turbulent times The Food Bank would not be able to operate without generous donations from the community – individuals, families and businesses.
