Soup Kitchen London

London, UK

Since 1986, the Soup Kitchen has offered dedicated support to homeless, elderly, lonely and vulnerable people in London. Our mission is to extend a compassionate hand to those in need, offering nutritious meals, everyday essentials and a welcoming sense of belonging to over 200 individuals each morning. In our commitment to holistic well-being, we pioneered Europe’s first on-site mental health drop-in centre within a soup kitchen, recognising and addressing the mental health needs of our guests. With the help of hundreds of dedicated volunteers each year, we aim to provide a safe and warm environment for every individual who walks through our doors. In early 2026, we expect to open our new restaurant in Primrose Hill, which combines the skills and experience of a highly accomplished Executive Chef with a team of recruits who have all experienced homelessness at some point in their lives. Our goal is to upskill our friends by providing them with structured employment, dedicated training and extra support to build long-term careers in the hospitality industry.

Sankofa Storytelling Arts - Wellbeing & Drama Projects alongside Arts Schools

London, UK

Sankofa Storytelling Arts empowers children and young people by fostering agency and creativity to express themselves through applied theatre, drama storytelling and arts - contributing to finding solutions and ideas on personal, community and global issues important to them. Issues are age appropriate, SEN embedded and include topics such as wellbeing, community responsibility, leadership and social mobility. Two of our services feature Summer and Winter School (which includes a free hot meal) and estate based after school workshops for children and families. We primarily deliver these services within Camden and surrounding areas of socio-economic challenges. We aim to continually foster: - Soft skills of effective communication, collaboration and quiet leadership. - For the children and young people cohorts; develop confidence, agency, artistic and solution based approaches using the arts. - Using the platform of Applied Theatre, crafts and storytelling to create meaningful conversations and positive memories. Food donated to Sankofa will be distributed both during the classes and collected by their families. Most importantly, food donations contribute towards many of their lunches or evening meals in the truest sense of the word. We thank you all for heavily subsidising their wellbeing via surplus foods and volunteering. We're a growing micro team with big aspirations and this 2025 are converting our organisation model to become a charity. Please contact us for details of any of the above points and thank you.
