Getting help
Richmond Food Bank has four food distribution points in and near the borough and can provide three days' nutritionally balanced emergency food for people. This service is provided by the Trussell Trust, a nationwide network helping to combat poverty and food hunger across the UK. You need a food voucher to get provisions from the food bank.

Cost of Living Support Calculator
To help you understand which schemes, benefits or support you might be able to access, we have a calculator. This form takes about 10-15 minutes to complete and will ask you information about your income, home and family. Once complete, it will tell you what you are entitled to, so you can look for the right scheme in our Cost of Living Hub.
