Pret Hatton Garden

We are an active community centre who have been based in the heart of Clerkenwell, London, since 1898. We run a very active social club for adults, a youth club, family activities and a community-based mental health awareness project, Minds Matter Islington. We support local people to put on events, classes and other initiatives, such as the EC1 Echo, Clerkenwell's excellent community newspaper and we develop targeted events and activities in the community. We work closely with Islington Council, other community centres, voluntary organisations and local businesses to deliver a wide range of high quality services. We inform and in-put into local policy, where relevant and appropriate. Our work is guided by the belief that a connected community in Clerkenwell is of the utmost importance. We are really proud to be building a more connected Clerkenwell, one where everyone benefits from living here. We are seeking donations of non-perishable food items, baked goods, fruit & vegetables, ready meals, drinks and snacks.

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.
