Working with our local Food Bank
The London Coin Company
are proud to donate and support Sufra Food Bank & Kitchen NW London, a Charity
working on the front-line in the fight against hunger and poverty whilst also offering a wide range of services and community-based activities that empower individuals and families to overcome impoverishment and social isolation.
Sufra NW London
is a local charity established in 2013 which addresses both the causes and consequences of impoverishment in the community.
Based on St. Raphael’s Estate, Brent's most disadvantaged neighbourhood which is their main Community Hub, provides a life-line for people in crisis – including families living in extreme poverty and people who are vulnerable, homeless and socially isolated.
They provide ‘guests’ with the food and support they urgently need to survive, empower them to learn new skills and improve their well-being, help them find work and become financially stable.
"By working together and harnessing the goodwill of our neighbours, we build a stronger community where no one suffers alone in silence"
says Mr. Fahim Dahya - Facilities Manager at Sufra NW London.
Sufra Services Include:
Food Bank
Food Bank which provides emergency supplies of essential food and toiletries to individuals and families experiencing acute crisis. The size of their food parcels vary depending on the size of the family they are designed to support, but they typically last 5 to 7 days.
Community Kitchen
Serves a 3-course vegetarian meal every Friday evening for all to enjoy, regardless of their circumstances.
Advice Surgeries
Team of Advice Workers helping people deal with ongoing benefits and housing problems – no matter how long it takes.
St. Raphael’s Edible Garden

Refugee Support
Helping newly arrived refugees access the housing, healthcare, training and jobs they need to build a new life in the community.
Food Academy
Fun and interactive 6-week cookery course runs on Saturdays and gives young people a qualification in food preparation, kitchen skills and healthy eating.

"The London Coin Company
are very pleased to continue to donate to Sufra Food Bank and Kitchen NW London
