About Pecan

“I’m here today because I’m really experiencing some really tough times. Which leads to problems with food and other things... years ago I would never imagine being in a place like this.” – Client A, at Southwark Foodbank Session May 2025.

At Pecan, kindness is at the heart of everything we do. From our first interaction with a beneficiary to their end journey with us, we see the power of small acts of compassion shaping lives across Peckham and Southwark. 

Each year, we support thousands of individuals facing hardship, whether through food insecurity, unemployment, or social isolation through our five projects: Southwark Foodbank, Peckham Pantry, Together Hub, Women's Service and Employment Support.

"I have no one to laugh with, this is the first time I've laughed like this all week. Thank you!" - Women's Service Client
