Who we are

Behind the numbers of parcels and tonnes of food are amazing people who make Southend Foodbank what it is.

Meet the team

Behind all our amazing volunteers there is a small staff team, dedicated to making sure no-one has to go hungry in Southend. All of our paid staff are part-time, as a team we work 2.2 full time equivalent hours, and some are funded by grants to cover project or overhead costs.
