We are a registered charity located in Stratford, East London. Our mission is to support individuals grappling with mental health issues, disabilities, and homelessness. we provide a clothing and food bank, offer assistance for physical and mental health challenges, and maintain a free online directory of support services on our website. Our commitment extends beyond immediate relief; we aim to lift individuals out of homelessness permanently and advocate for the systemic changes required to address the issue at its root. Our clothing bank and food banks are currently operating in Redbridge, Ilford and Newham , Stratford and are run by volunteers. Our clients are deemed as legally homeless, this can be anyone who is laterally sleeping rough on the streets, anyone who becomes homeless due to their mental health or disabilities and even those fleeing persecution and violence such as Asylum seekers, refugees and also women and single mothers with children fleeing domestic violence. Clients are identified through established, recognised and regulated pathways and services such as the NHS, third sector organisations such as Shelter and charities that support women fleeing domestic violence. Our services are free, and we rely mostly on the goodwill and generosity of family, freinds and the general public to help with the clothing and food donations. We have partnered with a number of local organisations who support us with our cause. some of these are SHP , The Welcome project and Barclays Bank Real Estate Team who can be seen supporting us in the pictures provided.

Kazzum Arts uses creativity to enable children and young people who have been impacted by trauma and adversity to feel seen, heard and valued. We do this by providing opportunities to explore creative expression and agency through multidisciplinary arts activities. We work with young people who have experienced high levels of Adverse Childhood Experiences which have resulted in social, emotional and mental health issues, communication needs, disabilities, exclusion and displacement. Our programmes use creative activities as a means of building confidence, communication skills, creativity and engagement in learning, whilst also helping children and young people to develop healthy relationships with others and the world around them. Our programmes have been developed in consultation with young people and are delivered by a diverse team of skilled artist facilitators in partnership with a range of spaces including schools, hospitals, and community settings. We think imaginatively and compassionately about the worlds of young people, using creativity to make memorable experiences that last well beyond childhood. We are looking for surplus food donations for our create group run from Oxford House in Bethnal Green, which supports refugee, asylum seeking and migrant men's mental health and wellbeing through creative activities. All food donations received via Neighbourly will be provided for free to our participants

Dance Ups – Creative Dance Workshops and Stage Rehearsals for Young People in Hackney Dance Ups is a grassroots weekly dance workshop for young people aged 7–16, based at a community hall in Hackney. We provide a safe, inclusive and affordable space for children and teens to stay active, build confidence, and express themselves through dance. Workshops run every Thursday from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM including during school holidays. Sessions combine stage and floor-based practice, choreography, group routines, and themed activities — all designed to build teamwork, creativity, and joy. Dance Ups celebrates community spirit while offering performance opportunities such as showcases and carnival-style events. Many of our participants come from low-income families, and we’re proud to offer low-cost sessions to ensure accessibility for all. How we would use food surplus donations: We would provide healthy snacks and light refreshments to participants during or after workshops. Many children attend straight from school or aftercare, and food support would help ensure no child goes hungry, reduce stigma, and support wellbeing in a trusted, safe environment. We’re currently seeking support with: Healthy snacks or food vouchers for participants Costumes and basic stage equipment (e.g. lighting, props, mirrors) Volunteer support for workshops and events Small grants to help us reach more children across Hackney To find out more, visit www.danceups.co.uk or email us at info@danceups.co.uk.
