We are called Connecting All Communities, a not for profit organisation based in East London of Hackney. CAC aims to tackle segregation and persuade community cohesion to celebrate our similarities and accept our differences to understand and to apperciate individual uniqueness. We are have been providing food parcels and cultural hot meals to residents in and around Hackney. Since the cost of living has increased the demand of our services triples. We would be really greateful to have wonderful volunteers who are able to help us to help others in many different ways such as collecting and delivery our food parcels and cultural hot meals to people who are unable to come to our centres. We also be thankful for volunteers who can help us work behind the seen at the confort of their own homes Although we are registered at Pembury Community centre, we are delivering most of our activities, programs and projects at Banister House community centre in Homerton area. Our work is not only around food but there are many different tasks that we deliver everyday. We are mainly working from home on voluntery based. We would kindly appreciate if you could kindly give back just a little bit of your time, skills and knowledge to the local communities.

We are a group of dedicated volunteers who help out at a weekly soup kitchen in Lincoln's Inn Fields, Holborn, London, every Sunday at 6.15-8pm where we distribute food to 100-110 of the most vulnerable members of society. The soup kitchen is held within two minutes walk of Holborn station. We provide our guests with a hot meal (meatballs and rice/vegan lentils and rice), a sandwich (usually a selection of meat/fish/vegetarian/vegan is on offer), a piece of fruit, dessert, water, tea/coffee and any other items which volunteers personally fundraise for and bring including toiletries, clothes, tinned food etc. We also provide for individual needs, where possible, including sleeping bags, footwear etc to help guests through difficult times. It has been through our volunteers' dedication and commitment that we have expanded and found donation streams to ensure our continued success. What started off as a distribution where homemade sandwiches were distributed has grown to allow guests to leave with 2-3 days worth of food. We are the only soup kitchen which attends the site every Sunday, 52 weeks a year, this includes Christmas Day and New Year's Day. And we are one of very few that offer meat to our guests, our guests also have an option of halal food every week.
