Everyday Support Newham

Helping Newham residents with money, food, and confidence.

Confidence, Community and Everyday Support is a one-year project run by Sam Allure Support CIC for 50 vulnerable adults in Newham. It will support people living with disabilities, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and those seeking asylum or refugee status.

Each week, residents will have access to one-to-one support with budgeting, form-filling, benefits, and healthy meal planning. Every month, there will be workshops designed by the community, covering cooking on a budget, managing money, and using local services.

We know loneliness is a huge challenge in Newham. This project will create a safe, welcoming space where people can meet others, share experiences, and build lasting friendships. We will also train 8–10 local volunteers, including people who have been through the programme, to keep support going.

As one woman told us: “Being part of this made me feel like I mattered.”
