We can’t do it alone
The support of our partners is vital. Our work relies on building long term relationships with policy makers, corporate partners, donors, community organisations, volunteers and support workers so we can provide the life changing service we’ve become known for.
Our corporate partners
Support from our corporate partners is invaluable. They help us in many ways – through financial donations, gifts-in-kind and by helping ensure we can continue to develop sustainably.
Partner organisations
We partner with over 250 agencies who are best placed to identify people in Tower Hamlets facing crisis. Together, we work to tackle the underlying issues that cause food poverty, ensuring no one slips through the cracks.
Your support in numbers
Monthly donation
A gift of £50 would help cover the cost of a session with a member of the Advice & Support service team, as they help resolve the immediate crisis and work with people to put longer term solutions in place.
Volunteering hours
Each week we require over 25 volunteer hours to help support in a variety of ways, such as interpreting for non-English-speaking clients, crafting graphics for our social media updates, or providing office admin support.
Without volunteer support, we would not be able to meet the growing needs of the community. This is especially needed now with the soaring costs of living.

Out of every £1 donated
For every pound you donate, 75p goes straight towards running our front-line support service.
Get involved
Whether you’re an individual, an organisation or working to reduce poverty in the community, join us as we support people in their journey out of crisis.
Donate money
We know that not everyone has the time to volunteer with us. Our most pressing need right now is funding.
This has become all the more urgent due to the decline in donations across the charity sector since the start of 2021.
Our charity is funded by the public, by people just like you. Donations help us with the core part of our work, with solving immediate crises and keeping it away.
Donate time
We have a very small team, so any time you can give will make a difference.
From helping at our office, assisting us with graphic design for our social media posts, providing interpreter support for non-English-speaking clients, or getting involved in our employment support programme – we couldn’t do it without you.
Fundraise for First Love
Don’t have the time to volunteer but would like to do something else instead? From organising a cake sale at your work place right through to running a marathon, you can help us support the local community.
