Friends of Essex and London Homeless

We are an independent non-funded non-profit charity operating two soup kitchens in Charing Cross (Wednesday) and Grays (Friday) and rely solely on donations. We see approx 250/300 per week and supply a hot meal, soups, drinks, clothes, toiletries and sleeping bags.

This is not a voucher system and anyone who attends will be given a hot meal. The group have also recently started their own food bank, so service users can take around 5 days of food away with them as well. The service starts at 17:30.

We started our journey in December 2016 and became a registered charity in May 2018 we do so much more then just hand food out we are a listening hear a shoulder and also a support into services to help assist where ever possible. We also attend many children and adult clubs to present our work with workshops and to make people more aware of the homeless epidemic.
