Carpenters Café, started by some residents of Carpenters Estate and Trinity Chapel London. The project opened on 5th June 2007 initially as a feeding project targeting the homeless. However over the years, as a result of the current economic climate, we now support a wide variety of groups which include anyone needing a helping hand. We also receive and send referrals to other organizations to provide support. Carpenters Café main objectives are:- • To provide a dinning place that is warm, clean and friendly where people can come and sit, make friends and share a meal • To give free of charge, hot or cold drinks, sandwiches, fruit and vegetables and food packs subject to availability. • To share out household items, clothing, footwear, books, etc that have been donated to Carpenters Café for the benefit of the needy. • To offer support and encouragement with access to computer facilities for job search and basic IT training. • Volunteering services include distribution of advice and information leaflets on healthy eating and lifestyle, a foot pampering session on the last Tuesday of every month and art classes every other Tuesday. The service is delivered by a strong team of volunteers who are reliable and supportive of the charitable aims of the organisation and who share a desire to offer help and assistance to people. We are open to the public every Tuesday from 10am – 12pm. Carpenters Estate Community Hall 17 Doran Walk, (Off Carpenters Road) Stratford, London E15 2JL

At the Renewal Programme we work to tackle the causes and consequences of poverty, isolation and disadvantage in the London Borough of Newham. Founded over 50 years ago, our work continues to be informed by our core values of dignity, inclusion, collaboration and empowerment. We provide holistic support to Newham residents facing a range of challenges, providing housing, food, advocacy, education, and immigration advice, with the aim to support service-users to thrive independently. Although our work is open to all local residents, our core emphasis is on those who fall through the gaps of statutory and societal support, particularly those facing severe or multiple disadvantages. In a typical week our foodbank serves 300–400 people and gives out up to 130 food parcels. Our adult education programme ran 49 courses and enrolled 364 unique learners over the last academic year with 90% achieving accredited qualifications. Our Refugee and Migrant Programme (RAMP) hosts around 6 immigration advice sessions and submits more than 2 home office applications/appeals per day. Our homeless hostels provide shelter for 42 residents and our digital inclusion project provides 1-2-1 IT support for up to 200 individuals. We also provide carer support and a range of positive activities for young people. In the wake of the pandemic, we adapted our approach to meet rapidly changing community needs. We modified our delivery to offer support both in-person and online and brokered new services including a free volunteer-led telephone helpline and emergency micro-grants for those in urgent need of financial support, including those with no recourse to public funds. We remain agile and aim to always work collaboratively with our clients, providing tailored support and drawing upon our significant local knowledge to positively transform lives.
