Gurseva is a grassroots community charity working to tackle food insecurity, reduce social isolation, and create opportunities for people to thrive. We support vulnerable individuals and families across our local communities by redistributing nutritious food, providing community meals, and delivering projects that promote wellbeing, inclusion, and youth leadership. We work with a diverse range of people, including families struggling with the rising cost of living, older people, refugees and asylum seekers, people experiencing homelessness, and individuals who are socially isolated. Through our food support programmes and community activities, we help people access healthy food, build confidence, develop new skills, and strengthen connections within their communities. Support through Neighbourly would make a significant difference to our work. Surplus food donations enable us to provide fresh, nutritious food to people who need it most while reducing food waste and supporting environmental sustainability. We also welcome volunteers from local businesses who can help with food collections, sorting and packing food parcels, preparing community meals, supporting community events, gardening projects, and mentoring young volunteers through our community leadership programme. By partnering with local businesses through Neighbourly, we can increase our impact, support more people facing hardship, reduce food waste, and create stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.

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.
