Meet a Changemaker: Samantha White, Manager of Community Centre

For the past eight years, Samantha has helped homeless people by providing them with food, clothes and showers. The food bank she set up eight years ago, which supports people who are struggling with the cost of living, has become the largest in Newham, providing food to over 700 people a week. Two years ago, she also opened a free community wellbeing café, which addresses health and wellbeing as well as community safety. The café supports people around mental health issues, loneliness, homelessness and more, as well as providing the local community with a safe place to relax and socialise.
