A community centre which offers free food to families struggling with the cost of living crisis has blamed ‘social cleansing’ after being ‘evicted’ from three sites in seven years.

Having come to the UK as a refugee from the Ivory Coast and Congo in 1998, she says she knows what it’s like to struggle, and worries about the impact of the closure on those who use Homegrown for basic necessities.

‘After paying her bills and taking care of the kids, she sometimes has to just feed the kids and not eat much herself. It’s sad to say that, but that’s what happened today.’ Alongside feeding locals, Homegrown aims to assist vulnerable young people at risk of falling into youth violence or crime.
