In this short video, we hear from Father Kieron O’Brian, Parish Priest of the Catholic Parish of East Brighton.
He explains how during the construction of the Fitzherbert Community Hub in the parish hall the community foodbank remains open, serving between 60-80 people a week.
Operating from a temporary structure at the back of St John the Baptist Church the foodbank opens after Sunday service, the foodbank will stay until the rebuilding of the FCH is complete later this summer.
From September 2022 The Real Junk Food Project Brighton’s Community Cafe will be reopening at the newly completed Fitzherbert Community Hub in the St John the Baptist parish hall. People will be able to eat a delicious hot lunch made from food that would otherwise go to landfill on a ‘pay as you feel’ basis.
Foodbank opening times:
Sundays 12.30-13.30
