The Lunch Club (REHOBOTH Community Outreach Club)

London, UK

REHOBOTH COMMUNITY OUTREACH CLUB located 1-18 Allwood Close, Sydenham SE26 4JP is a charity and it has been entered onto the Register of Charities with the Registered Charity Number 1168822. Rehoboth Community Outreach club started reaching out to vulnerable families in 2013, offering befriending, parenting & life skills training. Over time the services evolved expanding to offer mentoring to young people, employment skills training and a food bank. In March 2014 Rehoboth started receiving requests for support with addressing the increasing issue of food poverty amongst the single homeless living in hostels and the local street homeless, this saw the launch of the Community Lunch Club. Initially the lunch club was feeding 20 people every Monday with a 2 course hot meal. But this number quickly grew to 150 people a week when Rehoboth partnered with Miriam Lodge providing meals to their most vulnerable homeless residents. The partnership has expanded and Rehoboth community outreach club “The Lunch Club” now deliver 200 meals every Monday across 2 hostels. In addition, we have some homeless people living locally in the community who walk-in and collect their meals. The feeding programme also provides a soup social, with home cooked vegetable and chicken soup with rolls to the residents in the hostels on a Friday. The generosity of our local donors business and others in neighbouring community, with financial donations from the church membership and individuals, make it possible to provide our services free to vulnerable individuals and families. The community outreach service is facilitated by a team of 25 volunteers who cook, serve food, clean, deliver the meals, and provide the befriending, mentoring and training activities. Rehoboth hopes to double its feeding programme to 300 meals a week by the end of 2018; to support at least 50 homeless people to capacity build their employment and life skills, enhancing their potential of accessing employment, education and training opportunities. The Rehoboth Community Outreach Club aims are to contribute to breaking the generational cycle of poverty and deprivation within families, inspire hope & healing in the heart and soul of vulnerable individuals and communities and encourage peace, unity and respect across generations. We seek and appreciate further financial, time and resource donations that enable us to meet our vision of UK communities free from food poverty and benefiting from sustained upward social and economic mobility for everyone. A donation of £2.50 provides one hot meal; £10 provides 4 hot meals. For further information please contact.

HEINEKEN Winter Foodbank Fund

Recent research by Neighbourly highlighted that due to the cost of living and external demands we all face, 83% of charities stated demand is rising and 92% say the cost of living is a reason for this. Not only are more people reaching out to foodbanks for support, but the volunteers supporting these charities are also finding it hard to maintain their level of help as well. This winter we are setting up a winter fund to enable HEINEKEN colleagues to donate what you can and support foodbanks near to where we work in Edinburgh, Manchester, Tadcaster, Herefordshire and London. You can donate as little or as much as you like and the fund will remain open until the end of December 2022 – all you need to do is click on the ‘Donate’ button below. Please note that all money donated will be collected in a central fund and the total amount raised will be shared evenly across the 5 foodbanks near our sites. It is unfortunately not possible to allocate where your donation goes.
