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.

Eligibility criteria

- Families with dependents under 18 (or under 25 with SEN)*

CWP Impact Report and Beyond the Food Bank toolkit

   

The CWS Impact report for the period of February 2023 to September 2024 provides a comprehensive analysis of the Community Wellbeing Project's impact on participating households.

As the Community Wellbeing Project reached it's anniversary, Sufra created a Beyond the Food Bank toolkit for setting up an alternative, innovative model of support. The toolkit shares how Sufra created the Community Wellbeing Project and what steps local organisations can take to replicate it. Our goal is to maximise the project's impact, by inspiring other charitable organisations and councils to recreate the project in their local areas. The toolkit has been shared with over 50 organisations within London so far.

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.
