Getir Wandsworth

No Poverty

We run a range of activities at the centre. We have an Over 55s Lunch Club to reduce isolation in the area, we promote healthy living decisions, and our Step Forward programme gives advice and support on income maximisation, family health, housing, employment and training. In addition to this, we run a drop-in cafe working with different organisations across the borough of Merton to provide information about services that can help local people, providing free tea and coffee, a warm place to sit and social and exercise events. We would love to continue to thrive to support our community even more. Please follow our project and share our work with your community.

I run a Food Charity - mainly in the London Borough of Wandsworth. I interact with ALDI, M&S, Getir and LIDL via this page. Away from this page, I partner with Co-Op, Deliveroo, Five Guys, Wagamama, Wasabi, Pizza Hut, Domino's Pizza, Papa Johns, Chipotle, and Krispy Kremes. It's a very busy life! I previously partnered with Greggs, Tesco, and Sainsbury's. During the Covid lockdown, I focussed my project on London's homeless community. Sadly, I reached the conclusion that they were undeserving of my time, so now, absolutely anyone in my catchment area is able to access my project. People do say, "but surely someone needs this more than I do," and I respond, "as long as you are thankful for this milkshake / sandwich / chow mein etc. that's the important bit!" I get no funding from government / business / general public. I do have a bank account for this project. Over the 4 years of this project, it has received about £250. This project relies on my goodwill. It will continue as long as I am not burnt out.
