If you’re looking for ways to support your neighbours and local community, here are some ideas you can consider.
Donate food and other essential items
You can donate food or other items such as books, bedding, toys or clothes. If you have food or item to spare:
- find your nearest foodbank and learn how you can donate
- find a local organisation in Camden that supports people with food
- see which items you can donate with Little Village
Donate money
If you can afford to give money, there are funds in Camden you can donate to:
- The Young Camden Foundation support Camden-based charities to provide services and support for children and young people, including tackling holiday hunger
- Camden’s Giving’s Cost of Living Appeal funds local organisations supporting people through the cost of living crisis
Volunteer with a local organisation
If you’re looking to volunteer your time with a local organisation, call 020 7424 9990 or visit the Volunteer Centre Camden website.
Get funding for a community project
If you’ve got a good idea to support your community, you can apply for funding to get it started through our We Make Camden Kit.
Help us promote the support and advice available across Camden
If you’re a member of a local WhatsApp group, or you’re on social media, you could consider sharing information with other residents.
We have posters and social media graphics directing people to the help and support available across Camden, including ‘warm welcome’ spaces.

The script has also been developed in the following languages:
