Welcome to
Humdum
Helping Humanity
Halal and vegetarian food bank based at The Ripple Centre, Barking. Serving hot food and fresh food parcels to anyone in need.
Our Mission
Chronic hunger in the UK is not inevitable. With collective action and unity, we can combat hunger once and for all.
Humdum UK was founded with one goal in mind; to ensure nobody in our community faces food poverty. We distribute over 300 nutritionally balanced meals a day and provide support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We believe nobody should go a day feeling hungry; however, the sad thing is many people do.
Get involved today and be part of a growing team of volunteers who are on a mission to help those in need.
Did you know?
- We cater to all personal and religious beliefs by providing food parcels for those who also eat vegetarian or halal only food
- We recognise that with financial difficulty, not only do people suffer from hunger, but they also do not have the resources to maintain their hygiene, which is why we also offer support services for health, hygiene and sanitation. One of our projects- ‘ending period poverty’ – is a reflection of this.
- Our humanitarian work has received media coverage by BBC UK, ARY TV.
