Support Services
Our aim is to help our guests out of Foodbank use. When guests register with us, we complete a short form to help us establish the type of issues they’re facing. Based on this information, we can offer access to a whole host of support agencies in and around Wandsworth.
If you are in financial crisis and would like further help and advice, please take a look at our ‘Worrying About Money’ leaflet, developed with IFAN, which will give you details of where to get help in Wandsworth.
Each week at the Foodbank, we have representatives of the following organisations to provide guests with confidential advice and support:
Family Action Wandsworth Wellfamily Foodbank service – offering emotional and practical support
Citizens Advice Wandsworth* - who can provide advice on benefits, debt, housing and more – for a full list of their support services, please visit their website.
* funded by the National Lottery
St Mungo’s – speak to a support worker to help with housing issues, and drug and alcohol dependency issues
