Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise. This is more than food and is part of a supportive services platform to help people get sustained in their own individual way. With up to 94% success rate and seeing once those receiving free Looprun response bags to returning to stores as shoppers with baskets full. These are the impact stories created when all come together to do good for good. Service users are signposted to Looprun mostly from referrals including professionals in social and healthcare.
Looprun provides free non perishables, perishable food, toiletries, and brand new clothing to people facing a temporary challenge.
Whatever supermarkets, stores, and retailers can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. This is a response to real people in real-time.
No food is banked providing a direct in and out service. We believe if the food is stored then a person in need is not getting any food, hence we provide an instant response and instant impact service.
Looprun has access to professional volunteers who carry out a confidential support service to people in need. From homeless shelters, hostels, sheltered housing, care homes, soup kitchens and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with food donations.
Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained thus creating a loop cycle.
All are invited to become part of these sustainable stories in your local community.

Vincentian Care Plus
London, UK
Vincentian Care Plus takes its values and ethos from the teachings and example of St. Vincent De Paul, a Christian and social reformer who co-founded the Daughters of Charity in 1633.
Vincentian Care Plus is proud to be a daughter company of The Daughters of Charity, upholding their values of compassion, dignity, and service to those most in need. Guided by their ethos, we are committed to supporting individuals and families facing financial challenges.
The ‘plus’ in our name reflects our commitment to doing more for the people we support, and is driven by a clear social mission to address emerging poverties and improve lives.
We adapt that founding mission to address today’s social needs for the benefit of everyone, irrespective of religion or belief.
As part of our care, we regularly distribute food parcels to service users in need, ensuring that those facing financial shortfalls have access to essentials. For individuals in particularly dire circumstances, we also conduct emergency shopping to provide immediate relief and address urgent needs.
In addition to food support, we assist with utility top-ups, helping to ensure that service users can meet basic living requirements and maintain their well-being during difficult times. Through these efforts, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
Vincent believed in action rather than words and in hands-on service to support people in need.

The ATASII Foundation.
London, UK
We are The ATASII FOUNDATION.
(The Alhaja, Taibat Arinlade Saheeb, Iya Ibeji Foundation, Known in short as The ATASII Foundation.)
We operate from our base in Ridley road E8 of East London and we distribute dry meals to supported housing residents at St Mungos in mare street & Cape house hostel in Dalston junction.
As for our street homeless jurisdiction, we distribute dry and cooked meals in Greater London; so specifically the E8 (Kingsland high street & Kingsland road) area, E17 Walthamstow Central/bus station, E4 Broadway in Highams park, and in central London’s Kingscross station, Green park and Victoria stations.
Our organisation's wider activities, concentrate on Agriculture, Architecture and Art.
We took up Feeding the homeless in 2019, using the extra stock from our first donor, Unity Food Stores.
When we are running low- we try to feed at least 7 people per day with dry noodles, a container, and then it’s just for them to get the hot water, we find this is quite practical for the street homeless.
Our Mission:
Enhancing and changing the lives of under privileged young and older people of all backgrounds in the U.K., which includes in the U.K. African diaspora, aswell as in West Africa through using the profit made from agricultural food; using Agricultural work to help feed those in need.
Our Work in The UK and U.K. Diaspora:
We also work to alleviate the stress of Asylum seekers who are known to the UK Home Office, through administering talking therapy, volunteer opportunities where allowed, meals and food & clothing vouchers.
Our Work in West Africa:
We work within west Africa in collaboration with individuals and organisations who deliver services for the under privileged, organisations such as orphanages and young offender's institutions. When we join forces with these organisations, our role is to oversee a given project that may have already been started, or from conception through to completion that will benefit, enhance and help to change the lives of the under privileged and wider society.
Our main aim is to do this through providing much needed funding for these projects, but also through providing these organisations with other resources that they may be in need of, such as volunteers to keep organisations running, equipment and mentor programmes.
