We are bridging the gap between food waste and food poverty locally. We support local Foodbanks, charities and community groups - helping them to feed people that need it most. we have established ourselves to relieve people in Surrey, West London and the local areas who are in need, by reason of their age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or social circumstances; particularly but not exclusively by the provision of surplus food and other essential items to individuals, Foodbanks and other charitable organisations. Surplus to Supper is supporting our local foodbanks and charities with surplus food, operational help and fundraising. Our aim is to benefit all foodbanks, organisations and charities throughout the borough and the county. We also operate as a catering kitchen; with a free nutritious and culturally relevant meal delivery service as well as the bulk catering for outside organisations/ companies providing food for parties, events, lunches and dinners as well as the regular meals at the Sunbury Cricket Club. It is vital that we explore other opportunities for the charity and other uses for the surplus food. Every time you buy a meal from our Surplus to Supper range, you provide a free meal to a person or family in the area Identified through our partnerships with Buy One Feed One Free. This encourages the injustice of Perfectly good food going to landfill while supporting local communities out of poverty. Food units! Financial donations are incredibly important for us to continue the work we do. Any amount is appreciated and goes towards running our organisation and critical projects

Save the World Club (SWC) is an environmental creative arts, education and entertainment charity. At SWC’s heart is a commitment to improving the well-being of individuals and communities and protecting the environment demonstrating imaginative skills and solutions and having fun, so we can all live in healthier and more sustainable ways. SWC was set up 30 years ago by Des Kay. The organisation was primarily concerned with Des using recycled materials to create unique kinetic and mechanical structures which told children and family audiences stories of waste and gave other important environmental messages. After many successful years, Professor Kayoss is a legend and SWC has grown to an organisation with thousands of committed supporters. Over the years, we have created Award-winning large community mosaic artworks with thousands involved throughout the process of creation. Using waste materials, many are on display around Kingston Town and the Borough. Our remit for cutting waste extends to monitoring what gets thrown away, and rescuing items able to be recirculated, either as themselves, or through upcycling to something else. We are also key collectors of surplus food that we distribute daily, to local charities, institutions and others in need.

Food for Thought Heathfield distributes food to our community that would otherwise have been discarded from local supermarkets, restaurants and independent food outlets . We offer a pop up stall on Heathfield Recreation Ground on a Thursday and Saturday. Our offering is for everybody! We want those who need food to have it. Our visitors also choose surplus for environmental reasons, saving from landfill and reducing carbon footprint. We encourage everybody to use surplus food to help themselves and others, gifting and cooking for their families and the rest of the community. We do not charge for food - ultimately what we offer would have gone in a bin! Those who wish to donate help us to continue feeding as well as supporting redevelopment and the community around us.
