Nourish Community Foodbank

Nourish Community Foodbank operates throughout the Tunbridge Wells borough and provides emergency food and provisions to people in crisis on a referral only basis.

​

Since 2018, St Dunstan’s Church has been donating to the Nourish Community Foodbank thanks to the encouragement of Margaret Furminger.

​

Locally, Nourish was first organised with the help of the Roman Catholic Church, St Theodores in Cranbrook.

​
