Community Food Hub
Transforming Communities Through
Children's Voices
Since our founding, Children With Voices has been a beacon of hope in Hackney, amplifying young voices and tackling food injustice at its roots. We believe that every child, regardless of their postcode, background, or ability, deserves to thrive—nourished in body, mind, and spirit.
What started as a response to growing inequality in our community has evolved into a powerful movement for change. Founded by Michelle Dornelly, Children With Voices appeared from a simple but profound belief: that real transformation happens when we listen to children and work alongside communities, not above them.
Since 2019, our Community Food Hub has become the heartbeat of food justice in Hackney. Operating across 20 locations and now centralised in our main hub, we provide not just food, but dignity, community connection, and hope.
Our Approach
Today, we are proud to have supported over 100,000 families and distributed more than 300,000 meals through our innovative programmes. But our impact goes far beyond numbers—we are building a legacy of inclusion, empowerment, and hope.
We Are Here to Help
A Collaboration Between Communities
& Children With Voices
Every family who walks through our doors deserves respect, not judgment. Every child in our programmes deserves to be seen as whole, not broken. Every person we serve is an expert in their own life. We work with people, never for them.
We are committed to collaborating with you as equal partners, respecting your insights and leveraging your expertise to shape our initiatives. Your knowledge will serve as the foundation of our efforts, and your influence will be the catalyst for meaningful and impactful progress.
