As a result of the government's restrictions on movement and gatherings in public the Norwood & Brixton Foodbank teams based at St Luke's, Norwood and St Paul's, Brixton are no longer running face to face and pick up sessions and the centres are now closed. Norwood & Brixton Foodbank have moved to a full delivery service operating from the warehouse at St Margaret's, Streatham.

Here's how you can help - and information if you need support:

Help design the Lambeth Council website

Lambeth Council is looking at new designs for its website, and needs your help! To make sure that these designs work for residents, they are looking for people who can give feedback on what has done so far. You will be able to do this remotely.
In addition to helping out your borough and making the website easier for everyone to use, you'll have opportunities to receive shopping vouchers in exchange for your time.

Lambeth Food Bank Fund

Please support the grassroots Lambeth Food Bank Fund by donating if you can, and sharing the link with friends, family and colleagues. Organisers have raised their target and now hope to raise £20k. www.gofundme.com/f/the-lambeth-food-bank-fund :
