The ongoing squeeze on budgets this year has led to a huge increase in demand for food support. 1 in 4 working Londoners now struggle to afford to feed their family. We now have over 600 organisations on our waiting list, desperate for our food deliveries.
Now more than ever, we need your help to fill empty plates this winter.

When Fearne Cotton visited our Park Royal depot recently and realised the scale of surplus food we are able to rescue and deliver to Londoners in need, she was astounded.
"It was amazing", she said. "So much delicious food, fresh vegetables like aubergines, tomatoes and cabbage, then there was bread, meat and even profiteroles! All of it was perfect and should be being eaten, especially when so many people are finding really it tough and cannot afford even the basics.”
We surveyed 2,006 working parents in London to understand the impact of rising food prices and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
We found 1 in 4 working parents have, on multiple occasions, struggled to afford to feed their children in the last year. That’s the equivalent of over 276,000 working mums or dads across London.
14% of respondents said they have had to turn to a food support service, such as a food bank or pantry for the first time in the last year. That’s around 172,900 working parents and could mean around 474 new people have sought help from a food bank every day in the capital.
We also found over 1 in 10 working families had up to £20 a week – that’s just £2.85 a day to spend on breakfast, lunch and dinner. This means across London 135,000 people have the same
The survey was carried out between 29th September and 6th October and was answered by 2006 working parents with children under the age of 16 and is a representative survey.
“There is no reason for children to be going hungry with the amount of surplus food that’s out there”
Michelle Dorney, Children with Voices in Hackney
