BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic) Project Update
Picture
The BAME women, as with all communities in Maiden Lane and St Pancras Way Estate are worried about cost of living, paying bills and food insecurities. Momota is planning workshops around financial planning but more needs to be done. Somali women in the group are looking after large families so cannot come out therefore have to text Momota asking for cooking oil or rice. Bangladeshi Women can come out more, but do not want to feel stigmatised by coming to the food bank for support. Momota has reassured them that they can text her or Amanda any time they are struggling to feed their families. The women are also worried that their husbands are sending money back home while they are struggling to pay bills. This is a wider social issue that the Centre cannot impact directly however, Momota, Amanda and the Director will meet in the next few weeks to devise a plan to make the foodbank more accessible to all and provide relief. We organised a Womens Safety Seminar with the local Community Police which was very useful, and very well attended.

Foodbank Team
Foodbank updated

MLCC has teamed up with a new partner, York Way Sainsbury’s along with Camden town Sainsbury’s and Morrisons. We have reconnected with The London Irish Centre following the pandemic which is great. We are also working closely with Torriano school, our food bank has gone in their newsletter, and we are working with the school to help support the most in need.
Young people are volunteering on Friday evenings in the foodbank, putting food away, packing and recycling (image on the right). It is helping them to learn new skills and gain valuable experience.
Increasing referrals are coming in from family support workers. We are working with around 15-20 families a week, feeding around 40-60 people a week. This number is set to increase to above pandemic numbers as the winter sets in, along with cost-of-living crises, inflation etc.
