VIA provides drug and alcohol services in Kingston. We do not charge for our services and provide a non judgemental holistic approach to dealing with people and their families experiencing addiction. We work within the community and in collaboration with other organisations. We have criminal justice and rough sleepers teams and provide 1to1 key worker sessions, as well as groups, social events, coffee mornings and drop ins. We also provide harm reduction programmes and can offer detox and rehab facilities. We are dedicated to supporting some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Our service users include vulnerable adults as well as young people who are facing immense challenges such as homelessness, parental substance use, gang involvement, poverty, abuse, and exploitation. We are hoping that you will be able to support us on this vital mission. Food is a major incentive to get people to engage. Our drop ins, coffee mornings and our groups benefit hugely from food being available. It encourages people to feel included and connected and promotes trust. For some of our clients it will be the only meal they have that day. For others a lifeline to feeling accepted. Many of our clients have poor diets and eating is not their first priority. We desperately need sandwiches etc. We hope together we can make a lasting impact on the lives of our service users.

Operating primarily within the most underserved postcode of Chessington within the Royal Borough of Kingston, New Era was conceived by a group of like-minded people based on one man’s intuitive vision; to attempt to ensure that our grandchildren and subsequent generations can enjoy this incredible world in safety and to eliminate the dilemma of 'Heat or Eat.' We provide any useable items that are discarded by retailers to others without asking them to meet with any criteria (our sole purpose is that of offering hope to those who have little and don't know where to find any, completely free of all judgement.) We also have a large contingent of users who visit our projects to save food from landfill. There is no charge made for any of our redistributed produce. We use some free surplus food within our three Square 1 Cafes, where 'everyone is welcome and everything is free.' These are safe, secure environments that promote togetherness and friendship and help those dealing with social isolation. https://www.facebook.com/groups/square1cafe We continue to distribute surplus food and pantry items collected via supermarket Customer Donation Points to our Community Fridge located at St Mary's Centre in Chessington, helping those living in one of the most underserved postcodes within the Royal Borough of Kingston. Open Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10AM until 1PM. All of our projects hold a 5* Food Hygiene Rating from Kingston Environmental Health Office. As of February 2026 we rely on some 67 volunteers providing 255 hours PER WEEK across our venues. Our newest project SKY Cafe is dedicated to our young carers' within the community and operates every month from our base at St Mary's Centre in Chessington. Food, activities and much fun and laughter is the order of the day.

Barnardo's Epsom & Ewell Family Centres offer support to families to find solutions to the parenting and relationships challenges they face and to grow in confidence to manage future difficulties. The aim of the family centres is to help families build their own resilience and self-reliance Family centres are based as near as possible to our most disadvantaged communities but families needing help anywhere across Surrey will be able to benefit from their services.
