LONELINESS, ISOLATION AND HUNGER HAVE NO POST-CODE BOUNDARIES!
RMUK Food and Well-being First, deliver emergency food support to extremely vulnerable and at-risk households in Lewisham, Lambeth, and Southwark. We deliver fresh fruits vegetables, culturally appropriate foods to African and Caribbean households and the wider community. We then follow up individual requests for support by offering a listening ear, signposting to the right local organization, or source items that are needed. We are a friendly socially distanced, befriending service and offer care and kindness to those who are lonely, isolated, and just want a short conversation.
Before COVID 19, we organized family fun days, educational exhibitions, film nights, trips out, cooking, and various educational workshops. We have moved most of these to online for now and people having a great time meeting new friends, socializing, and feeling more engaged.

During this Covid pandemic, some food prices increased, and this has put a strain on members of our community and those who care for other family members. There are several groups of people who are at a greater risk of vitamin D deficiency during the COVID 19 Pandemic. Our volunteers are magnificent! Each week they lovingly compile and then deliver groceries, toiletries, books, toys, and flowers to our service users.
PLEASE HELP US TO SUPPORT OUR HOUSEHOLDS who have been struggling to get healthy nutritious food AND support for themselves..
