Donating

There are a number of ways that you can support the work of St John’s Soup Kitchen.

Justgiving

Our Justgiving page allows you to donate financially towards all aspects of our soup kitchen work. This includes food, but also the other associated costs, such as paying our lovely cleaner, administration costs and utility bills.

Bankuet

If you would like you money to just go towards food, please consider using our Bankuet page. Money donated here goes further, as Bankuet are able to use bulk purchasing. And they deliver the food weekly to our doors.

Tuesdays 5:00pm – 8:00pm

If none of these times are convenient for you, please email soupkitchen@sjebp.com for the locations of some local drop off points.
