Resistance Kitchen

Resistance Kitchen is a community kitchen sharing hot meals, fresh fruit & vegetables, and home cooking essentials like rice, pasta, sauce, tuna, cereals with those in need in our local community of Croydon & Lambeth in South London. We operate a food stall near Norbury Railway station every Saturday 2pm where all are welcome, no referrals, no vouchers, no questions asked. We also campaign for social justice as we believe food banks are not a solution, systemic change is needed to alleviate poverty.

They support people to remove no recourse to public funds conditions from their leave to remain.

They run weekly casework sessions every Tuesday where they provide appointments and workshops for people with NRPF to help make ‘Change of Conditions’ applications for recourse to public funds.  This means that people can access the welfare safety net in times of crisis or hardship.
