Hear It For Yourself
Hear from those we’ve helped; real stories of resilience, hope, and the impact of Highams Park Hub.
This Hub is really helping me – I can have vegetables, I can have milk for my kids, so it’s really helpful and it’s saving my budget.

Scope Of Aid
Highams Park Hub, also known as The Hub, is a lifeline for struggling individuals and families in the E4 area.
We provide essential food and household supplies to those facing financial hardship. Operating from All Saints Church, we open for food collection every Tuesday and Thursday from 11 am to 1 pm.
Both at those times on Tuesday and Thursdays, as well as on Wednesdays, our free community café (11 am – 2 pm) offers warmth, conversation, and support. To ensure help reaches those in urgent need, access to food aid requires a referral from recognised professionals.
No one should go hungry; together, we can make a difference.
