HOW you can help uS

With the cost of living crisis continuing to hit people in Southwark very hard, our donors and volunteers’ help is especially appreciated.

"At Spring Community Hub we support as many people as we can through our activities including our wraparound services like Back2Work, and our crisis support services like our Food Bank and, our Social Supermarket (Triple S). Triple S allows people to choose the food and other products they prefer at a heavily discounted price. It is always our aim to provide choice, dignity and culturally appropriate food for the people we serve; of course our ultimate dream would be to see no need for Food Banks at all! None of our initiatives would be possible without the support of our wonderful donors - thank you for your continued support"
