What we do
We give food, support and advice to people who are facing crisis in their lives. From the moment someone walks into one of our foodbank centres, we sit down with them to listen to their story and understand how we can help them get their life back on track. We work together with our partners, to help people transform their lives and build stronger communities.
We work to tackle hidden hunger in Tower Hamlets, by providing emergency food support to people facing crisis.
Together with our partners, we provide advice and support to help people get back on the path to living sustainable lives.

First time visits
In the first six months of 2015, nearly 70% of all people referred to Tower Hamlets Foodbank and our Advice & Support service did not need assistance beyond their first visit.
We can't do it alone
We work in partnership with the Child Poverty Action Group, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, and a network of over 250 external agencies. Together, with our corporate partners and volunteers, we transform lives as we work towards building a stronger community.
