Food poverty is a major issue in this area, with many people unable to feed themselves and their families one hot nutritious meal a day. The diverse population includes many migrants and refugees. Asylum-seeker hostels are also located nearby, where people have no facilities to cook for themselves.

Finsbury Park Trust has a large kitchen and in partnership with Jannaty Women’s Social Society and Islington Somali Community we have begun providing hot meals when funds permit, distributing surplus food from the Felix Project, and devising cooking sessions to teach people how to cook nutritious meals.
