Are you struggling and need a support?

If you would like to receive a free food box for yourself or someone else and want to help reduce food waste, please contact us through the form on this page to reserve a box.
We are open to the public from 2-6pm for the cafe and the food box collection from 3-6pm on Tuesdays.
Once the reservation is confirmed, you can come and collect a food box at the Thomas Wall Centre (52 Benhill Ave, Sutton SM1 4DP).

Simple Steps to request a food box

1. Fill in the form on this page. Don't forget to provide your mobile number so we can contact you via OLIO app / WhatsApp / SMS / Messenger so we can register you and contact you.

2. Once you have registered with us, one of our friendly volunteers will be in touch with you  to confirm the booking. This usually happens on Monday and we will confirm the number of box you require and your pick up time.


3. You will then be invited to attend the Thomas Wall Center on the next Tuesday afternoon session to collect food (Please bring your own bag). 


*Please note that there's a waiting list as we have reached the maximum capacity.
