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

We are a Community Centre based in Walthamstow that runs projects focusing on a community response to social and environmental issues. On Mondays, we run a Solidarity Supermarket where people can buy around £25 worth of groceries for £4.50. On Tuesdays, we run a free community kitchen where we cook surplus food and invite people to enjoy a free meal. Through our partners The Gleners, a Community Living Room runs every Thursday, plus their How To Cook A Feast course for migrants in the local area. On Fridays, we have a Wellbeing Cafe for people experiencing social isolation. We also redistribute food to local community fridges, food cooperatives, food banks and housebound individuals through our food hub and redistribution network. We have a network of volunteers who collect surplus food on their bikes from local shops and businesses, and are looking to expand this and engage with more local businesses to collect and redistribute their surplus food. When it comes to food waste management, we collaborate with local allotments that take our uncooked food. Just recently, we have launched our Green Hub For Waltham Forest, bringing together local groups involved in sustainability and responding to the climate emergecy.
