What the charity does
We provide approximately three days of emergency food for people living in financial hardship in the London Borough of Barnet. This is done through two weekly sessions at St Mary's parish centre in East Finchley where clients can choose items of food and toiletries. Clients are interviewed when registering with us in order to ascertain their needs.
