The Foodbank

Helping local families with nutritious food and community support.

We’re grateful for the support of an Islington Giving grant.

We’re delighted to share that we’ve been awarded a grant of £2,500 from Islington Giving through their Islington Food Fund. This generous funding will go directly towards supporting our foodbank services and helping those in our community who are most in need.

A heartfelt thank you to Islington Giving for their continued commitment to tackling local poverty and food insecurity. Grants like this make a real difference, and we’re proud to be one of the recipients.

A Lifeline for Our Community in Times of Need

We have always provided food for those in need, but we went into overdrive during the pandemic. So many people needed support and we were happy to work with other community groups to provide it.

The foodbank has become the fifth emergency service for many residents; it is a commitment to the community which provides a regular supply of food, so that people don’t have to choose between eating and heating.

There is no stigma attached to this service, which brings together people from all walks of life.

Powered by Community Generosity and Support

The Brickworks foodbank relies on donations and the generous support of local residents, supermarkets, businesses, charities and community organisations. A big thank-you to all concerned: your support has been amazing.

Voices of Brickworks

So much, emotionally, keeps me feeling as if I have family with me (giving me strength). For the first time since I’ve come to this country, I feel I have had back-up. The foodbank is so helpful (I am on benefits). It’s like the sun’s come out. Real help.
Mr O
The foodbank has been useful to us over this time and especially during lock down. I was on the furlough scheme. It has been a very good source of extra food.
Mr A
There is always a warm welcome from the staff and the foodbank has also helped me greatly in my being able to have nourishing food at home to keep me healthy. During a very difficult period I have encountered of late, I have found the support of the staff and foodbank team to be more than accommodating in helping me to regain my confidence and self-esteem.
Mr R
The food bags helped me feel less stressed about what we were going to eat and how I was going to get healthy food for my children.
