Part 2 of a double visit to East End Women foodbank was a busy one!

Over to Kate to tell you about it..

"We were kept very busy today with filling cars, everyone seemed to come at once so were rushing around trying to get them all loaded! We spent the first hour organising the bags for the drivers and then the second hour restocking plenty of food items! (before and after photos of the shelves attached). There was plenty of deliveries from the day before to be getting on with and the time flew by!"


This task supported
East End Women
A project supporting women with skills and training, education, loneliness and domestic abuse recovery.

East End Women offers practical courses for women to build confidence and skills around DIY, sewing, pattern cutting and basic trades. We also deliver the Freedom Programme domestic abuse recovery course, helping women to better understand the roots of domestic abuse and build confidence to identify warning signs in the future. In addition to this, East End Women also offer social activities and drop-in sessions for women experiencing isolation to meet one another, make friends and build local networks.
