We are a poverty alleviation and community empowerment nonprofit promoting equitable access to food, housing, healthcare, education, and an adequate standard of living for individuals and families. We work with various segments of the community including homeless people, refugees, rough sleepers, and individuals and families living in extreme poverty. Refuge Network runs a soup kitchen at Charing Cross. We also operate several outreach programmes providing food and survival packs in various locations, including Victoria, Leicester Square, Brixton, Camden, Clapham, London Bridge, Waterloo, and Goodge Street. We provide food, clothing, tents, sleeping bags, phones, survival kits, other material supplies, and advice to the homeless, refugees, struggling individuals, and families living in poverty. Due to the cost of living crisis, our service is receiving unprecedented requests for assistance. We are seeing more suffering on the streets and can feel the urgency of the situation. A visitor to our soup kitchen told us he was finding it difficult to remain on his feet due to hunger. It was heartbreaking seeing him sitting dejectedly by the streets complaining he had no strength to move on. Around the same period, our team members at Southwark spent time consoling an injured homeless woman on a wheelchair who was weeping profusely by the roadside due to hunger and homelessness. While Refuge Network has made great strides in providing support to thousands of homeless people and rough sleepers, the situation with many service users remains desperate. We are expanding services to cater for more individuals and families in underserved areas, so we urgently need food, clothing, toiletries, blankets, bags, household goods, and anything you can give to support the cause. Volunteers are also needed to meet growing demands. Thank you very much for your support!

London Wildlife Trust is the only charity dedicated solely to protecting London’s wildlife and its vital habitat across the capital. Formed in 1981, we belong to a partnership of 47 Wildlife Trusts across the UK – working together to conserve nature and help everyone connect with the plants, animals and habitats in their local communities. Tackling the cause of climate change, combined with mitigation of its effects and adaptation to the changing climate, are key to the sustainable prosperity and future quality of life for Londoners. There are already indications that the changing climate is driving changes in London’s natural environment, but maintaining and enhancing a robust ecological infrastructure should be a means to sustain biodiversity and help the city adapt in the future. Although many organisations are working on reducing the impacts of climate change in London, London Wildlife Trust has a vital role in ensuring that biodiversity is considered and forms an integral part of the collective response. The visibility of our reserves and local membership mean that we are well placed to act as an exemplar organisation to demonstrate best practice in adaptation. We recently published our strategy to 2030, ‘Bringing Nature Back to London’, to achieve our vision of a London alive with nature, where everyone can experience and enjoy wildlife and the wider environment.
