Gurseva is a grassroots community charity working to tackle food insecurity, reduce social isolation, and create opportunities for people to thrive. We support vulnerable individuals and families across our local communities by redistributing nutritious food, providing community meals, and delivering projects that promote wellbeing, inclusion, and youth leadership.
We work with a diverse range of people, including families struggling with the rising cost of living, older people, refugees and asylum seekers, people experiencing homelessness, and individuals who are socially isolated. Through our food support programmes and community activities, we help people access healthy food, build confidence, develop new skills, and strengthen connections within their communities.
Support through Neighbourly would make a significant difference to our work. Surplus food donations enable us to provide fresh, nutritious food to people who need it most while reducing food waste and supporting environmental sustainability. We also welcome volunteers from local businesses who can help with food collections, sorting and packing food parcels, preparing community meals, supporting community events, gardening projects, and mentoring young volunteers through our community leadership programme.
By partnering with local businesses through Neighbourly, we can increase our impact, support more people facing hardship, reduce food waste, and create stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.
