Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise. This is more than food and is part of a supportive services platform to help people get sustained in their own individual way. With up to 94% success rate and seeing once those receiving free Looprun response bags to returning to stores as shoppers with baskets full. These are the impact stories created when all come together to do good for good. Service users are signposted to Looprun mostly from referrals including professionals in social and healthcare. Looprun provides free non perishables, perishable food, toiletries, and brand new clothing to people facing a temporary challenge. Whatever supermarkets, stores, and retailers can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. This is a response to real people in real-time. No food is banked providing a direct in and out service. We believe if the food is stored then a person in need is not getting any food, hence we provide an instant response and instant impact service. Looprun has access to professional volunteers who carry out a confidential support service to people in need. From homeless shelters, hostels, sheltered housing, care homes, soup kitchens and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with food donations. Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained thus creating a loop cycle. All are invited to become part of these sustainable stories in your local community.

A registered charity providing surplus food to disadvantaged people in SW London. We deliver weekly food parcels and offer fresh and dry store food supplies to support 12 local community groups and charities in SW London. We are currently re-distributing in excess of 2.5 tonnes of food every week. We have the potential to help over 3000 people across Tooting, Clapham, Balham, Streatham, Mitcham, Kingston, Croydon, Surrey and Central London on a weekly basis through the charity partners we work with.

Our organisation provides a safe and Warm Space for members of the local community within the Brixton area enabling them to feel a sense of belonging through socialising and promoting active engagement with others whilst feeling respected, valued and supported through positive interaction. We will be organising events, workshops, trips and a community food pantry for older adults, families and vulnerable people. Our community food pantry will help those being affected by the high cost of living and food poverty, where we are supporting those in need with affordable fresh fruit, vegetables and long life items. We will be operating from The Remakery (www.remakery.org) which is an eco friendly organisation that promotes recycling and reduction of waste. Our food pantry model is more empowering than a food bank as we are allowing people access to weekly shopping, choosing the items that they want for a low cost weekly donation. We are encouraging community members to stay for a tea/coffee after or before they have done their shop where they can meet and connect with other people and share ideas about how we are able to support them by shaping the future direction of HHC and what projects they would like to see and participate in. Our projects will focus on: - Mental Wellbeing - Social Inclusion - Improving the local environment - Physical Health
