Thank you so much for visiting our page. 

One in seven adults have skipped meals, eaten smaller portions or gone hungry all day because they could not afford or access food.

We have both been volunteering at North Paddington Food Bank since the beginning of the pandemic. To try and raise much needed funds we are planning to cycle 50K around our great city at night on 11th June. We would be SO grateful for any donation however big or small. Please help out and give what you can. Any late night revellers very welcome along the route!  A&J xxxx

More about NPFB

North Paddington Foodbank is focused on solving food poverty challenges faced by residents living in the Borough of Westminster. Our aim is to end poverty in Westminster by working with our local community, providing people in need with food, and a pathway out of poverty towards a better life. Across Westminster, we are sadly finding that an increasing number of people are experiencing situations where they have little to no money to purchase food and essentials. Benefits issues, unexpected costs, redundancy and long-term health problems, among other issues have created difficult situations that mean more people and families need access to support from charities like North Paddington Foodbank. On top of these factors, more than 60% of our customers are women, 45% of whom have more than one child. 35% are single mothers and shoulder the responsibility and cost of raising children alone. Many will only have access to low-paying jobs or part-time work*, and all will be feeling the effects of the rise in cost-of-living. We are committed to providing targeted support to women and families experiencing temporary or long-term food crisis, through our emergency supermarket vouchers; access to nappies, wipes, formula, and sanitary products through our Baby Bank; and the offer of person-centred casework to identity and address the issues that may be driving their food poverty. North Paddington Foodbank continues to be the main emergency food aid provider for the London Borough of Westminster, and we need your help to continue supporting people to find a pathway out of food poverty towards a better life.
