Story
The BFC is based at St George the Martyr, Borough High St in the heart of London's busy Southwark area. They operate a 3 times a week shop to members to support them with the cost of living as well as impacting positively on the reduction of food waste. There is no criteria for membership and this sets the BFC apart from other food hubs and makes them increasingly popular!
With a staff team of 2 and a team of dedicated, hardworking volunteers they have developed a service which allows customers to shop with autonomy, dignity and choice during these financially uncertain times.
For just £4.50 per shop customers can obtain up to 16 items of groceries and household provisions with a current value of £20+
Since January 2023 the BFC has redistributed over 40,000 kg of food destined for landfill to over 4500 customer households.
All financial donations to the BFC go directly back into their revenue stream to contribute towards running costs and future project developments and next steps!
