WHO WE ARE

We are a Christian charity dedicated to bringing hope to individuals and the wider community. 

We help people who face seemingly impossible barriers to find a way through, re-write their futures and flourish. We never stop believing that with the right support, people can unlock their true potential. 

THANK YOU!

Together, we raised £62,228 (104%) and changed Christmas for local families. 

Because of your generosity and our amazing Big Give match fund supporters – The Childhood Trust, Jaguar Building Services and TMT Finance – your kindness will go twice as far this Christmas and into the New Year. 

Thank You from all at Pecan

Every year, we stand alongside thousands of individuals facing challenges, whether through food insecurity, unemployment, or social isolation. However, at Pecan kindness is at the heart of everything we do. From our first interaction with a member to their end journey with us, we see the power of small acts of compassion shaping lives across Peckham and Southwark.
