About Us
Children with Voices (charity number 1191018) has been a vital frontline service in Hackney for over a decade – improving the lives of young people, strengthening community and supporting those most in need.
Since 2009 our free youth programmes have been working with 5 – 16 year olds to develop skills in healthy living, cookery and mentorship, providing a safe space from “postcode wars” and fighting holiday hunger.
In March 2020, in response to COVID-19, we launched the Community Food Hub – accessible, inclusive and non-judgmental food banks across Hackney. We now regularly support over 600 people a week with food and essentials, strengthening and celebrating the power of community with a team of over 60 volunteers.
