Food poverty

We want to support organisations tackling hardship and crisis for Londoners that are experiencing food poverty.

Average award: Based on grants made to date, we have awarded between £36,000 and £377,000, the average award size has been £145,000* *These figures are illustrative and we will award more or less than these amounts depending on the applications we receive.

What we fund

Revenue funding is available to projects and organisations distributing donated food to people in London who find themselves in these circumstances.

We are particularly keen to hear from organisations working to ensure that clients receive culturally appropriate food.

We are not able to directly fund the purchase of food for distribution.

Wherever possible, we seek to support projects and organisations that involve the communities the project or organisation serves in the shaping of its services and/​or that are majority-staffed or run by those with lived experience of the issues they address.
