Changing Paradigms CIC is a community-rooted, not-for-profit social enterprise based in London. We are dedicated to creating inclusive, accessible spaces where children, young people and families especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds or with additional needs can thrive through creativity, connection and community expression. We design and deliver free and low-cost workshops and wellbeing programmes that reflect the lived experiences, voices and needs of the communities we serve. Our work is shaped by the community and delivered by a team with shared lived experiences Our programmes are delivered from a range of shared spaces including Earls Court Community Hub, Aisgill Avenue Basketball Court, Bishops Park, Virgin Active Fulham, as well as schools, leisure centres and outdoor spaces across London. This flexible, mobile model helps us reach people who may otherwise face barriers to participation. We’ve used roller skating as a creative tool for youth engagement, mentoring and community building both at local festivals and within regular workshops. Thanks to recent funding from The National Lottery, Sport England and Dr Edwards and Bishop King’s Fulham Charity, we are now expanding our offer to deliver up to two years of weekly youth workshops, with a focus on physical activity, creativity and wellbeing. These sessions will include roller skating, but also extend into other accessible activities such as gymnastics, football, basketball, self-defence and creative arts. Alongside this, we will offer free nutritious meals or healthy snacks, helping to tackle food insecurity and remove barriers to participation. We identify and engage service users through: Referrals from schools, youth workers and healthcare professional Direct outreach at community events and session Word of mouth and local networks In addition to youth work and wellbeing initiatives, we also aim to embed food support into our workshops and events. By offering meals at sessions, we hope to make it easier for families to attend and benefit fully from the activities, without the added pressure of cost or food insecurity. All surplus funds and donations are reinvested into our work covering materials, staff, transport, food provision and expanded workshop delivery. Our primary beneficiaries are children and young people aged 6–18 along with their families and local residents facing social or economic hardship. We confirm that all food donations received via Neighbourly will be distributed completely free of charge to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. Food support is delivered through our workshops, pop up events and local community engagement programs. As a new company with limited resources, our website is currently in development along with our IG account we have included a working draft to share our growing vision

The Dalgarno food bank is a weekly food distribution service providing both perishable and non-perishable foods for the local community. The service is free, but clients are asked to make a small donation for what they receive. Every small amount contributes to the successful running of the service. The food bank is for anyone who may be unemployed, receiving low income, or are struggling to cope with household bills. However, people need not restrict themselves to these reasons to use the food bank. If you would like to give food or any other donations to our food bank - donations are always well received and appreciated. Key details about the service are as follow: Tickets are given out in the reception area of the centre from 10am. The food bank distribution starts at 2pm. To keep the service Covid secure, food bank users do not enter the building, but volunteers bag up the food they have requested. Most people leave the food bank with two full plastic bags. Days/Time: Thursday (10 am for tickets ) Food bank distribution 2pm-3pm

Are you looking for a way to actively help reduce food waste and food poverty? Come along and meet our fantastic team at the Felix Project. Our volunteers are at the forefront of our work, delivering, collecting and sorting surplus food to benefit charities across London. Despite living in one of the richest cities in the world, many Londoners struggle to feed themselves and their families properly. The problem is that making sure everyone gets a proper meal is expensive. And yet hundreds of tonnes of surplus food are thrown away in our city every day, even though there’s nothing wrong with it. At the Felix Project we want to see good food go to good causes. Our cause commemorates a compassionate boy named Felix who noticed the injustice of food poverty at a football tournament, when he was upset to discover that almost none of the opposing team of 10-year-old boys from South London had eaten anything that day. Our mission is simple - to collect that surplus food from food suppliers and distribute it to charities in their local area. So far, we work with 23 charities feeding 420 Londeners every week! These amazing charities turn the donations into healthy meals for their clients, including homeless people, the elderly, those with mental health issues, sufferers of domestic violence, and other at risk or vulnerable groups. Here's how it works. We collect edible surplus food that supermarkets and wholesalers are unable to sell. Our friendly and energetic volunteer team sorts through the donations to make sure they are good quality. Once we're happy with the food, we distribute it across our local communities to charities that feed the most vulnerable groups in our society. This surplus would otherwise go to landfill or anaerobic digestion - we harness its potential to bring nourishment and energy to people who need it most. What's more, the food donations save the charities money that can go towards their important work. We'd love you to sign up to one of our volunteer events! With your help, we'll continue diverting food from going to waste and supplementing healthy meals that bring strength and inspire change within our city's communities.
