Description

We provide emergency packages of food and toiletries to individuals and families in financial difficulty. We have an advice service available to all our clients provided by the Citizen's Advice Bureau.
Every day people in the UK go hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income.
In Westminster, an increasing number of people have difficulties in paying for their basic needs. Other needs may take up all finances, leaving nothing for food. This is a dire situation, especially if one is supporting a family. North Paddington Foodbank was set up to help address ‘hidden hunger’ and issues about the lack of food which affects many households in the UK.
The Foodbank provides short-term food support to those in need of emergency food supplies due to financial distress or other crises situations.
