Fans Supporting Southend Foodbanks was set up by a group of Southend United Fans in reaction to the worrying rise of food poverty in the city. We aim to hold regular foodbank collections for Southend Foodbank at every SUFC home game, harnessing the power and generosity of the Shrimpers to tackle food insecurity.

Since we fomed last Summer, we have held a major collection in partnership with the club and Southend Foodbank which raised over £1100 and 322kg of food. Since then, we have set up permanent collection boxes in Roots Hall's closest two fan pubs, The Spread Eagle and The Blue Boar which collect every matchday.

We are fundraising in order to cover the operating costs of running the group, supporting our work helping foodbanks, and tackling food poverty. The money we will raise will go towards for example printing flyers, branded shirts, banners or other materials which will allow us to raise awareness for the cause and maximise our collections.

Any donations would be very much appreciated however if you can't give right now or if you want to give more than money, there are other ways to support us: You can follow our social media, boost our content and help spread the message of the cause or you can volunteer at our pop-up collections on matchdays. You can find our social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram by searching @sufcfoodbanks.

Thank you so much for your support!
