The E6-Sisters Community Pantry, located in the London Borough of Newham, is committed to fostering sustainability and empowerment within our community. We provide residents with weekly access to a pantry where they can choose their preferred food items, rather than receiving predetermined offerings. This empowers households, especially during crises, helping them regain control over their lives. Our pantry serves as a sanctuary, fostering a sense of stability and community ownership. By addressing food insecurity, we believe we can accelerate recovery, enabling residents to explore new opportunities. Our ethos promotes the transition from receiving help to thriving, bridging the gap between taking what is given and selecting what is needed. This approach minimizes waste and encourages fair sharing, ensuring that everyone has access to what they truly need.

ICSS is a small, grassroots, 100% volunteer-run registered charity operating since 2004. We are a passionate group of volunteers helping children from vulnerable groups, such as refugees and children affected by domestic violence in East London, achieve their full potential through education, and in time, they can understand the value of giving back to society. We also operate a food bank serving referred families, providing food and other essentials.

Community Care Collective C.I.C. is a volunteer-led organisation with a simple mission: Zero Waste, Zero Hunger. We rescue good surplus food and share it with people in our community who need it. Our volunteers collect food from local supermarkets, cafés and other providers through Neighbourly, FareShare and Caboodle. We provide free food parcels to families and individuals, and share food with local schools, community groups and partner organisations. People reach us through word of mouth and referrals from schools and community organisations. We stock a community cupboard where people can access food anonymously and with dignity. Our fortnithgly "Share-Wood Saturdays" bring neighbours together to share food, and "Longthornton Larder" will open on 3 October 2026 as another fortnightly community food share. Each week, the food we redistribute is equivalent to approximately 2,250 meals. By connecting surplus food with local need, we help reduce waste, ease pressure on households and make sure good food is shared.
