Info
Sufra (known more formally as Sufra NW London) is a community "Food Bank & Kitchen", based in the London Borough of Brent. It aims to support families suffering food poverty in its neighborhood. Sufra was founded by Mohammed Mamdani; its name evokes an Arabic term meaning "Come to the table". It was officially founded in April, 2013 when the London Borough of Brent's council funded the charity in Raphael's Estate, one of the poorest estates in that area.Sufra provides local people with food, basic necessities and toiletries. Since 2014, it has run "Food Academies". It also became a local community centre aiming to bring the community together through the food academies including cooking lessons. The food bank expanded its services in 2017, with the launch of St. Raphael's Edible Garden, which addresses the causes and effects of poverty in the local community. The charity officially launched the project in March, 2017 and runs a "Growing Club" for four hours each mid-week and weekend.
