Pecan

Pecan Transforming lives, transforming communities. Pecan is a Christian organisation started by local churches 25 years ago.

We help people who face seemingly impassable barriers to find a way through, to re-write their futures, to flourish. We work with the most vulnerable people in the Peckham community – including ex-offenders and their families, people living with mental health issues and the long-term unemployed. We never stop believing that all people can achieve their God-given potential. And our work prompts transformation across the community. We see those we work with as people who need supporting – not problems which need solving. We believe in unlocking people’s own potential. Which is why our projects address all the needs of our participants – social, material, emotional and spiritual. We partner with local churches and advocate for those we work with, challenging inequality and injustice at a local and national level.

“Volunteering does wonders for my confidence, mental health and happiness. Feeling grateful.” – Peckham Pantry Volunteer

At Pecan, support is about more than food. It’s about creating opportunities for people to build confidence, connect with others and feel a sense of safety, belonging and wellbeing. This Harvest, your donations will particularly support people experiencing greater financial hardship through Southwark Foodbank and Peckham Pantry, while our connected services help people take positive steps forward — including into volunteering, community and employment opportunities.

Give food today. Help build confidence, connection and hope for the future. So, join us on Tuesday 20 October for our Harvest Drop-Off or support us with a donation:

Tackling poverty takes all of us.

“Seeing so many people generously donating to a food bank is so important for my local community and was a great start to my day.” – Izi, Volunteer

A little Harvest goodness at our food service Peckham Pantry!
Another wonderful delivery of freshly gathered vegetables from Earth Tenders CIC, brought in by one of their volunteers – who is also a Pantry member. It’s a community coming full circle: sharing fresh food, reducing waste and helping local households build greater financial resilience through affordable, dignified access to food. A big thank you to Earth Tenders for growing and sharing with our community.

Don’t forget: Pecan’s Harvest Drop Off Day on Tuesday 20 October, 10am-12.30pm at 121a Peckham High Street SE15 5SE: https://www.pecan.org.uk/harvest-2026/

A huge thank you to all who joined us at our Pecan Partnership Event yesterday evening. It was wonderful to bring together so many people, including the Mayor of Southwark, Claire Sheppard – who support Pecan in many ways. Thank you to all our local businesses who donated to our raffle, speakers and The Hub UAL for being a wonderful venue and support on the night.

Our Impact Report 2025-26 is out now!
At Pecan, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive with dignity, belonging and hope. Our 2025–26 Impact Report tells the story of how our connected services are helping to break cycles of poverty across Southwark. This year, we supported 12,242 people, combining practical support with trusted relationships, community connection and access to opportunity.
Our work connects around three priorities:
– Financial & Food Resilience.
– Employment & Opportunity.
– Safety, Belonging & Wellbeing.

Behind every number is a person, a story and the possibility of lasting change, including one of our regular members on the cover! Read our full Impact Report and see what we achieved together:https://www.pecan.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Final-Impact-report-2025-26_August-2026-1.pdf

It was great to see our community friend and supporter Michelle from Nice & Graphic this morning at Café 55. She is about to head out of London for her latest exhibition, but made time to drop-in, have a chat and share with us one of her bespoke posters for her next exhibition 'Future Footsteps', from 29 October – 27 November at The Tiny Gallery in Camberwell - Good luck Michelle and thanks for popping in!

A dessert that does good!

To celebrate their new London Bridge opening, Shake Shack has chosen Pecan as its local charity partner, donating 5% of Union Jack dessert sales to support our work. So, you can treat yourself and support Pecan at the same time when at London Bridge!

A huge thank you to the Shake Shack London Bridge team for choosing Pecan.

A shared meal can be about so much more than food. It can create connection, belonging and hope. Last Tuesday, our Women’s Service held its monthly Hub Lunch, with a wonderful volunteer Beth from Context.

In 2025/26, Pecan supported 162 women through in-depth 1:1 advocacy, alongside opportunities to connect, build confidence and feel part of a community.
