Sainsbury's Upper Street Local

Mary’s is an independent local charity based at the heart of Islington on Upper Street serving the communities of Islington and London-wide. We deliver open access, inclusive youth services, co-run with young people: a provision that helps young people from all backgrounds to be better connected and better equipped with the skills and confidence to form and engage with supportive networks of friends and family, health and social services, businesses and organisations. At present about 75% of the young people who become members of the youth club are eligible for free school meals. We stay open 50 weeks of the year and provide a weekly Friday night dinner as well as snacks at each of our activities throughout the week. We also provide the food for our day trips and camping holidays.

Islington stands as London's foremost borough in child income deprivation. As many food banks close their doors, the burden on The ARC increases. Our aim? To ensure no one in our neighbourhood goes hungry. The ARC's dynamic food distribution network is dedicated to helping those in Islington struggling financially. Our care packages brim with nutritious staples, from fresh produce to wholefood ingredients. Thanks to partners like Gail's Bakery and Pophams, we've continuously expanded our offerings.
