Working with our local Food Bank

The London Coin Company are proud to donate and support Sufra Food Bank & Kitchen NW London, a Charity working on the front-line in the fight against hunger and poverty whilst also offering a wide range of services and community-based activities that empower individuals and families to overcome impoverishment and social isolation.

Sufra NW London is a local charity established in 2013 which addresses both the causes and consequences of impoverishment in the community.

Based on St. Raphael’s Estate, Brent's most disadvantaged neighbourhood which is their main Community Hub, provides a life-line for people in crisis – including families living in extreme poverty and people who are vulnerable, homeless and socially isolated.

They provide ‘guests’ with the food and support they urgently need to survive, empower them to learn new skills and improve their well-being, help them find work and become financially stable.

"By working together and harnessing the goodwill of our neighbours, we build a stronger community where no one suffers alone in silence" says Mr. Fahim Dahya - Facilities Manager at Sufra NW London.

Sufra Services Include:

Food Bank

Food Bank which provides emergency supplies of essential food and toiletries to individuals and families experiencing acute crisis. The size of their food parcels vary depending on the size of the family they are designed to support, but they typically last 5 to 7 days.

Community Kitchen

Serves a 3-course vegetarian meal every Friday evening for all to enjoy, regardless of their circumstances.

Advice Surgeries

Team of Advice Workers helping people deal with ongoing benefits and housing problems – no matter how long it takes.

St. Raphael’s Edible Garden

The St Raphael's Edible Garden was an abandoned space on the estate turned into a community garden, where they offer educational courses, vocational training and volunteer opportunities.

Refugee Support

Helping newly arrived refugees access the housing, healthcare, training and jobs they need to build a new life in the community.

Food Academy

Fun and interactive 6-week cookery course runs on Saturdays and gives young people a qualification in food preparation, kitchen skills and healthy eating.

Food Academy Plus

An accredited course for adults provides professional catering skills and empowers people to find work in the catering and hospitality industry.

"The London Coin Company are very pleased to continue to donate to Sufra Food Bank and Kitchen NW London and help make a small difference even more so during these unprecedented times. We will continue to support their hard work in supporting families living in extreme poverty, the vulnerable, homeless and socially isolated from all ethnic backgrounds."
