Located outside No 70 Muschamp Road, the cupboard is always accessible (subject to local road restrictions for drivers). Anyone is welcome to receive and donate items to the cupboard, The cupboard is run on an honesty basis, and works on a “Take what you need, Give what you can” methodology. All items available are free of charge and have been donated via local businesses, members of the community or collected from various businesses participating in food waste schemes The Muschamp Community Cupboard team work in close collaboration with Community Champions (www.communitychampions.uk) who support the cupboard with regular donations of non perishable items. Donations are regularly received from various food surplus collections from Waitrose, Pret-a-Manger, Getir and Sainsburys amongst others. The Muschamp team also assist in topping up other local community cupboards enabling food surplus to reach far and wide. Alongside the cupboard, emergency food parcels are also organised on an ad hoc basis - and often include frozen goods saved from supermarket food waste collections. Request for these can be made by emailing muschamp.community.cupboard@gmail.com or via our Facebook Group.

Save the World Club (SWC) is an environmental creative arts, education and entertainment charity. At SWC’s heart is a commitment to improving the well-being of individuals and communities and protecting the environment demonstrating imaginative skills and solutions and having fun, so we can all live in healthier and more sustainable ways. SWC was set up 30 years ago by Des Kay. The organisation was primarily concerned with Des using recycled materials to create unique kinetic and mechanical structures which told children and family audiences stories of waste and gave other important environmental messages. After many successful years, Professor Kayoss is a legend and SWC has grown to an organisation with thousands of committed supporters. Over the years, we have created Award-winning large community mosaic artworks with thousands involved throughout the process of creation. Using waste materials, many are on display around Kingston Town and the Borough. Our remit for cutting waste extends to monitoring what gets thrown away, and rescuing items able to be recirculated, either as themselves, or through upcycling to something else. We are also key collectors of surplus food that we distribute daily, to local charities, institutions and others in need.

VIA provides drug and alcohol services in Kingston. We do not charge for our services and provide a non judgemental holistic approach to dealing with people and their families experiencing addiction. We work within the community and in collaboration with other organisations. We have criminal justice and rough sleepers teams and provide 1to1 key worker sessions, as well as groups, social events, coffee mornings and drop ins. We also provide harm reduction programmes and can offer detox and rehab facilities. We are dedicated to supporting some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Our service users include vulnerable adults as well as young people who are facing immense challenges such as homelessness, parental substance use, gang involvement, poverty, abuse, and exploitation. We are hoping that you will be able to support us on this vital mission. Food is a major incentive to get people to engage. Our drop ins, coffee mornings and our groups benefit hugely from food being available. It encourages people to feel included and connected and promotes trust. For some of our clients it will be the only meal they have that day. For others a lifeline to feeling accepted. Many of our clients have poor diets and eating is not their first priority. We desperately need sandwiches etc. We hope together we can make a lasting impact on the lives of our service users.
