St John’s Soup Kitchen & Food Bank has been running in Finsbury Park for almost ten years.

The service we provide has grown and changed with the needs of our community. We run completely on donations, and the time, energy and care provided by our wonderful team of volunteers.

We pride ourselves on offering delicious vegetarian food, grocery staples and a welcoming atmosphere.

  • “A place where people are smiling. They smile at us. It is good for our hearts.”

    —St John’s Guest

  • "I feel safe here, and I like the social aspect. I find it easy to speak to people.”

    —St John’s Guest

  • "I appreciate the social side of it. You make some great connections, and find out what's going on like help with bills and SIM cards."

    —St John’s Guest

  • "I don't always have the funds to buy my own food. Sometimes I completely run out, so this Food Bank really comes in handy. You get to meet a lot of people here from lots of different backgrounds. You get a bit of company while you wait.”

    —St John’s Guest

  • “It’s not just the food. It’s the way they treat you - like you belong.”

    —St John’s Guest

  • “I’m fed, I’m safe, and someone remembers my name.”

    —St John’s Guest

  • “I bring my son here. He sees kindness in action.”

    —St John’s Guest
