Food Aid

The Hive Food Bank

We run a Hive Food Bank every Wednesday evening, providing emergency food parcels to individuals and families in need in North lslington. We operate a referral‑based system to ensure support reaches local residents who need it most.

How to Get a Referral

To receive support from The Hive Food Bank, you will need a referral from an approved organisation. After an initial emergency visit, all guests must have a valid referral to continue accessing food parcels.

Local Referrers

We work with trusted community partners who can provide a referral quickly:

Help on Your Doorstep (Islington residents)

Help on Your Doorstep can issue food bank referrals for Islington residents and offer additional support services.

If contacting them by phone or email, please include your name, phone number, and postcode.
