17 Foodbank sessions a week, 8 in central Horsham and 9 in rural areas from the mobile foodbank the Hub on the Move

A community cafe, every Tuesday from 11.30-1.30 at St Andrews Church, Roffey. All are welcome to come and enjoy a hot meal and drink. Meals are subsidised, and people only pay if they can.
Throughout 2023 Horsham Matters provided 10,220 individual food parcels to those facing food and energy poverty, up significantly on the previous year. This increase in demand has been coupled with a fall in food donations as more people are finding themselves closer to a position of hardship, meaning we are increasingly reliant on revenue from our fundraising events to meet the needs of those in the Horsham District.
