Islington Foodbank is facing eviction from its location at Highbury Roundhouse due to the council's demands for a license that allows eviction on short notice. This poses a severe threat to the foodbank's operations, which has supported over 46,000 individuals since 2015. Despite the critical role it plays by distributing food parcels, the council, which generates 95% of referrals to the foodbank, has not provided funding. The charity wishes to remain until redevelopment necessitates a move, seeking collaboration for finding a new location.
"The council has demanded the foodbank sign a licence with terms that allow it to be evicted at very short notice, threatening its operations and those it helps."
"Since opening in June 2015, Islington Foodbank has fed over 46,000 people and provided 5,216 parcels last year alone, a vital service amid rising needs."
