It was my last visit to East End Women foodbank where we have helped out for the past 14 months every week (often twice!)
It was a great task today, filling a trolley with food then bagging up food packages, ready for delivery tomorrow. In under an hour myself and Fiona, a regular volunteer at the foodbank, had prepared over 50 packages. It felt like a busy hour and it was great to see the parcels all ready to go.
Even better was a double ice pop to keep it cool!

A project supporting women with skills and training, education, loneliness and domestic abuse recovery.
East End Women offers practical courses for women to build confidence and skills around DIY, sewing, pattern cutting and basic trades. We also deliver the Freedom Programme domestic abuse recovery course, helping women to better understand the roots of domestic abuse and build confidence to identify warning signs in the future. In addition to this, East End Women also offer social activities and drop-in sessions for women experiencing isolation to meet one another, make friends and build local networks.
