Neighbour Packs

Every kit pays for a family who can't afford one

The Government now asks every household to be able to manage for three days on its own. Plenty can't afford to. So every T-⁠MINUS kit pays for Neighbour Packs: three days of emergency basics for a family who couldn't otherwise get them.

In every pack

Three days of the basics

  • An LED torch and spare batteries
  • A wind-up radio
  • A power bank
  • A first aid kit
  • Foil blankets
  • Six 2-litre bottles of water
  • The Be Ready checklist, printed
  • £25 towards a three-day food parcel

As the Government's campaign was announced, a food bank charity warned that families already struggling with the weekly shop have no margin to build up emergency supplies at home. When the cash machines stop, they feel it first. Source

How it works

From your order to a family's kitchen

  1. 01

    You buy a kit

    £75 of the price pays for each Neighbour Pack that comes with it: one with T+3, up to a hundred with T+365.

  2. 02

    We buy and pack them

    Each pack is put together and checked with the same care as our kits.

  3. 03

    Food banks hand them out

    We deliver them to food banks in London and Surrey, which decide who needs them most. We're agreeing the details with them now, and we'll name them here once we have.

    We publish the count

    Every month we publish how many packs your kits have paid for and how many have been delivered.

Questions

The details

Food banks or community groups who'd like to hand out Neighbour Packs can email [email protected].

How much of my order pays for Neighbour Packs?
£75 for each pack: £75 with T+3, £225 with T+7, £750 with T+30, £1,875 with T+90 and £7,500 with T+365. It comes out of the price you pay; there is nothing extra to add.
Who receives them?
Families chosen by food banks in London and Surrey, who know who needs help. We'll name the food banks here once our agreements with them are signed.
Why packs and not just money?
Food banks are good at food. A torch, a radio and a power bank are harder to come by, and they matter most in exactly the outage that brings people to the door. Each pack also includes £25 towards the food bank's own three-day parcel.
When does it start?
With our first orders. The count on this page starts at zero, and we'll update it every month.
