    IDIA'S COMMUNITY KITCHEN 

    We are a grassroots community organisation that provides hot nutritious meals and food parcels and other items to those in need in our community at our three centres in Hoxton and Haggerston, at a local hostel and also to those referred to us by Hackney Borough Council. We build relationships with our guests so that we can signpost them to other support.
