Established in 1979 Deptford First is a charitable trust which helps the local community, chaired by Vicky Foxcroft MP.

 

Our mission is to provide emergency financial support to Deptford residents who are unable to access funds from elsewhere.  We raise funds to support a diverse group of vulnerable residents, including those who find themselves homeless, with no recourse to public funds, affected by the 'benefits trap', or a victim of domestic abuse. As a charity, we work with trusted partner organisations to help others, to make a positive impact on people's lives, and use our ability to bring out the best in and for Deptford.

 

As fuel and food prices rise, the cost of living in the area has gone up immensely and our aim is to help as many vulnerable individuals and families as we possible. 

 

Volunteer Roles Available 

We are always interested in hearing from individuals who would like to volunteer.

 

Please email us at info@deptfordfirst.org.uk and we will be in touch to discuss possibilities.
