Food on the Farm
The foodbank is open to residents of Broadwater Farm Estate in Tottenham.
We welcome 90 individuals at the foodbank each week.
Food on the Farm is based on Broadwater Farm Estate, one of England’s 10% most deprived neighbourhoods (IMD, 2019), and provides a community-led foodbank, a community kitchen providing hot, healthy meals prepared by a local cook with support from 13 regular volunteers, and cooking-on-a-budget workshops. In 2020 we recognised the need for a foodbank to support residents during Covid-19 lockdown; our current offer has grown out of this.
We welcome 90 individuals at the foodbank each week.
We survey attendees formally and informally to gather feedback and adapt our offer to meet need.
We receive funding from The Mercers' Company.
We receive funding from The Henry Smith Charity.
