About us

People come to our food bank at some of the most difficult times in their lives. As well as emergency food and essential toiletries, we offer people a safe space and a warm welcome, a listening ear, kindness, and access to advice and support, so people do not feel alone.

Last year Wandsworth Foodbank provided 12,638 emergency food parcels – 63% of which went to households with children.

When people are referred to Wandsworth Foodbank with a food bank voucher, most visit one of our six food bank welcome centres in churches and community centres across the borough. We also provide home delivery to people referred to us who can’t get to our centres because of disability or ill-health, which is about one in five households referred.

None of this would be possible without the continued, incredible generosity of people in our local community who refuse to stand by when local people and families are going without.

We are so grateful to everyone who gives food, money and time to provide emergency help, support and hope to local people and families in hardship.  Thank you.

We’re part of Junction Community Trust, a local charity set up by St Mark’s Church, Battersea Rise to help people find practical support in its parish and across Wandsworth Borough. We’re also part of the Trussell national community of food banks.
