🌟 Food For Homeless Project – Restoring Dignity, Hope, and Community:
At Food For Homeless Project (FFH), we see every day that homelessness is not just about lacking a roof over one’s head it is about losing stability, dignity, and human connection. The people we support face multiple challenges: trauma, family breakdown, mental health struggles, addiction, immigration challenges, and the deep stigma of being visibly homeless. Homelessness is rarely caused by a single factor; it is the result of overlapping hardships that build up over time.
From our frontline experience, the most urgent need is long-term, affordable housing. Without it, people remain trapped in cycles of hostels, shelters, or sofa-surfing, unable to rebuild their lives. A safe, permanent home is the foundation for accessing healthcare, gaining employment, and reconnecting with the community. But housing alone is not enough food, trust, and community are equally vital. Many individuals avoid statutory services due to past negative experiences, yet they engage with grassroots, community-based projects like ours. A hot meal, a safe space, and compassionate human connection can restore hope and give people the strength to start again.
Homelessness is also linked to wider inequalities poverty, benefit cuts, a shortage of social housing, and barriers in healthcare. Addressing these systemic issues requires coordinated action at community, council, and national levels. Above all, our experience shows that compassion and dignity are as important as housing and services. Meeting basic needs with care is not a small act it is the foundation for recovery, resilience, and hope. Ending homelessness requires more than bricks and mortar; it requires food, trust, community, and the chance for every person to rebuild their life with dignity.

Who We Are:
Based in London and covering Camden, Westminster, Holborn, Covent Garden, the City of London, Southwark, Islington and Hackney. Food For Homeless is a grassroots community project hosted by Social Change Nest CIC. Our mission is to support individuals facing homelessness, displacement, mental health challenges, and social exclusion, with a special focus on refugees, asylum seekers, women, and others marginalized by society. We provide more than just food; we offer a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where every person is seen, respected, and valued. Through compassion and community, we strive to rebuild lives one meal, one conversation, and one connection at a time.

What We Offer:

Every Friday from 1–3 PM at King’s Cross Methodist Church, 6 Crestfield Street, London, WC1H 8AT, we serve freshly prepared meals, tea, and coffee to 40+ people in a warm, welcoming environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

🧥 Monthly Essentials Drop:
Once a month, we provide vital supplies including hygiene kits, warm clothing, sleeping bags, and other survival essentials to help guests stay safe and healthy.

📱 Digital Inclusion:
At FFH, we believe digital access is a basic need, not a luxury. Many of the people we support have no internet, mobile data, or means to connect with vital services. Through partnerships with the National Digital Inclusion Network and Camden Council, we provide free Vodafone SIM cards and reliable Wi-Fi via Jangala connectivity boxes. Our volunteers also assist guests in using their devices, ensuring they can safely access online services, stay connected with family, and rebuild independence.

We provide a calm, stigma-free space where guests are treated with dignity, compassion, and respect.

Our commitment to suicide prevention ensures everyone has a space to talk openly and know they are not alone.
