We are open seven days a week, 51 weeks of the year, and serve between 100 and 120 people every day. It costs approximately £550,000 per year to provide our services. The only two sources of assured funding we have at the beginning of each financial year is £58,300 from the London Borough of Southwark (our local authority) and £61,000 from regular standing orders (individual donors). The remaining 78% has to be raised.
- £10 will cover our daily non-food costs (cleaning materials, etc).
- £45 will cover the cost of our bought food for one day.
- £80 will cover our IT costs for a week.
- £134 will cover our rent and storage costs for one day
There are many ways of giving to suit all situations. If you have any questions, please contact our Administrator on 020 7357 9363 or mail@mannasociety.org.uk.
Your generosity is much appreciated and will help us continue our work. Many thanks!

Gift Aid
If you are a taxpayer, you can increase the value of your gift to the Manna Society by 25%, at no cost to yourself. All you need to do is complete a Gift Aid form and we can reclaim tax on your gifts – even back over the last 6 years! You must have paid at least as much tax as we reclaim. For example, we can reclaim tax of £25 on a gift of £100. This means that you must have paid tax of at least £25.
Higher rate taxpayers can also claim a tax deduction on their self assessment tax returns.
A Gift Aid Form can be obtained by clicking on the following link – Gift Aid form , please complete and send to us. You can cancel your Gift Aid declaration at any time by contacting the Manna Society office on 020 7357 9363 or in writing to Manna Day Centre, 12 Melior Street, London SE1 3QP.
