About us

About us

Pecan exists to see an end to poverty in all its forms: we were created to address the most pressing needs faced by our community, but poverty is nuanced and complicated and the pressing needs expressed through the need for foodbanks, while important, is a symptom of the root causes (low income, debt, unemployment, poor mental and/or physical health, social isolation, loneliness, stigma, discrimination, lack of choice, poor housing etc.).

Pecan is raising money towards our services including: Together at Pecan Life-skills and Commuity activities), Employment Support, Women's Service, Southwark Foodbank and Peckham Pantry. These services provide a range of preventative and emergency support to members of our community. We can only continue to deliver the deliver our services through generous donations and fundraising efforts.
