Lidl Kingswood

Operates a 'soup run' in the city of bristol every night of year. distribution of food, beverages, clothes, toiletries, blankets, information on accommodation and day centres to under privileged, needy, and vulnerable people.

We aim to reduce the amount of food thrown away by shops. We collect surplus food from shops and deliver the food to local projects. There are a lot of organisations in Bristol, run mainly by volunteers, who offer meal and food bank services. We pick up at pre-arranged times and deliver the items to projects who have requested the supply of surplus food. After we deliver the surplus food items, volunteers at the local projects prepare and serve them to people who are going through or recovering from issues such as hunger, homelessness, social isolation, drug or alcohol abuse, and mental health conditions.

SGYH is based on the High Street in Kingswood, where we Temporarily House 16 to 25 year old who are deemed homeless. All our residents are referred to us from South Gloucestershire Council. As the residents are homeless and are struggling we always keep food items well stocked in the communal kitchens. So they are able to eat a healthy of mixed diet. All residents pay a small service charge as most is paid by Grants and Housing Benefits.
