Community Shop and Cafe
Based in our Wellbeing Hub, our Community Shop and Cafe supports people on a low income with food and other services.
St Luke’s Community Shop and Cafe is a sustainable and empowering food and support service for households in St Luke’s area of benefit on a low income. Our Shop and Café combine to help residents towards stability and independence – members can choose a basket of food for a £5 contribution to top up their weekly shop and get information, advice and support on St Luke’s services and other local agencies for longer-term support. It’s a great, cost-effective way to top up your weekly shop, and is available for up to 16 weeks for those who are eligible. We had the launch of our exciting new edition to the Wellbeing Hub on Thursday 2nd October 2025, please click here to find out more about the launch, opened by the Mayor of Islington.
You will also be able to join various wellbeing activities including healthy cooking on a budget (including our new Adult Cook and Eat class), family feast, mindfulness sessions and much more.
Our Community Shop and Cafe is open every Wednesday. Please contact us to find out more.
