Sainsbury's Twickenham The Green Local

The Real Junk Food Project Twickenham collects surplus food from local shops destined for landfill, and with the help of its volunteers, turns it into delicious, healthy meals for all of the community on a 'Pay As You Feel' basis. Please come along and join us, bring your family, friends or yourself for good food, good company and a good cause (remember to bring a bag so you can take some goodies home, we always have a good selection of breads and sweet treats and various fruit & veg) Our aim is to FEED BELLIES NOT BINS We are open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 11am-1pm (excluding bank holidays) Also if you are looking for a lovely project to be involved in please feel free to contact us as we always have room for new volunteers and their individual skills.

We offer a morning drop-in Monday - Friday, 9am - 11am, providing casework, a hot breakfast, surplus food, clothing, showers, nursing, telephone, internet and postal services, tea and coffee and connection to a supportive community. All our services are complimentary. We are also a hub for other outreach services who we work closely with, e.g. Glassdoor, St Mungo's, Salvation Army Employment Service, RCDAS (Richmond Community Drug and Alcohol Service), Spear Homeless Charity. Our charity shop sells affordable clothing and bric-a-brac and supports vulnerable guests with free clothing and items for setting up a new home. All profits are used for the benefit of our charitable work. The Richmond Foodbank provides emergency food for local people in crisis. It also operates at other locations across the borough. We work with local referral partners who assess people's needs and issue free vouchers to use at our foodbank. We also host other groups and services in the afternoons such as Citizens Advice, Mind Craft Group, Ukrainian Support Group and a Women's Hub.
