Community Wellbeing Service

The Community Wellbeing Service (CWS) is a holistic and wraparound membership for Brent families.

For £4/week members have access to a range of support including a Community Shop, Community Café and evening Kitchen service, Advice support and Health and Wellbeing activities and initiatives.

Unlike the Food Bank, this project is not a crisis or emergency service. The project provides preventative support for local families and enables members to access a wide range of support under one roof, in order to build financial and personal resilience.

For any queries, please email communitywellbeing@sufra-nwlondon.org.uk

Partnership Working

The success of the model very much depends on the working closely with Brent Council and a host of other partners – from Brent Hubs and public health, to a number of voluntary sector organisations and food redistribution charities. We are definitely stronger and more effective when working together.
