May 2026 Update: We at Eden Soup Kitchen continue to use the same premises which is based at: Eden Church Centre, Connaught Rd, Ilford , Essex. Our Services Users come through local organisations: Namely, Highway Vineyard Church centre, The Welcome Centre and Eden Church centre. There appears to be an increase in the number of SU’s due to cost of living crisis. We distribute the surplus products/foodstuffs that we collect from Lidl’s and Aldi to these organisations. This is free of cost and we work on a voluntary basis. Our Service Users are those in need of food, personal hygiene and household products that are difficult to fund from their limited financial resources. Some SU’s are homeless, have physical disabilities, families, are aged and isolated, English may not be their first language and through our distribution support are able to plug shortfalls in their daily lives. We continue to run our Senior Moments sessions whereby our SU have a meal, good social interactions with peers, visits by professionals who inform them of various rights, and outings to places of interest. Our impact appears to much needed and well received by our organisations and SU’s. We are both retired women and we support ourselves in this voluntary endeavour. At present and previously we have not sought media coverage, yet our work is very much required in our local area. We will continue to distribute the surplus that we receive for the foreseeable future. May 2025 Update: Our vision and emphasis on supporting our local community through collecting surplus. The communities in our vicinity remain the same. In the current economic climate we have seen an increase in the need for our services. We continue to operate from Eden Christian Church, Connaught Rd, Ilford, Essex. We tend to identify our services users through the organisations that we interact with. We work alongside Highway Vineyard Church London E12, Welcome Project, Ilford Essex and Eden Church, Ilford. The service users are people within the local community who mainly need food support for them and their families. The number of families with employed parents are reaching out to the centers that we liaise with to help enable them to assist their family needs. We also help support the homeless to sustain them during their unfortunate circumstances by supplying our collected produce surpluses from our designated stores. We help run a ‘Elderly Senior Moments’ club once a week at our home base, whereby we have a generous number of over 60s attend. They have a hot meal, are able to socialize and we engage local services such as health workers, self-protection awareness workers and organisations that help to inform senior citizens of their well-being. Our voluntary services are very much required and we endeavor to continue to collect and distribute for the foreseeable future.

RESET MH is a registered UK charity (no: 1194051) that provides free mental health services to adults and young people from the black community, through the provision of mental health first aid training, peer support services, individual and group therapy services. We are led by members of these communities who have lived experiences. Our tailored sessions are co- designed alongside them to ensure that they receive the correct support that meets their needs. All our sessions are also delivered by black qualified/registered professionals who are from the communities we serve. We have worked in collaboration with the community to provide services that truly meet their needs and serve them. The black community has been heavily affected by the pandemic financially and also with the issues with the cost of living. Due to this we are looking to looking to provide food support to low income families in London to support them during festive season and beyond. There are no charges for any of our services as we want to remove barriers of cost faced in these communities and also make is more accessible. We don’t currently collect surplus food from other retailers and this is a new service we want to provide to the communities we support to ensure that they receive food they need. We were recently funded by National Lottery and Nike London - funds were used to provide free mental health services to the black community. - We have been supporting the black community since 2018 and have identifies members of the community who will benefit for food support. - We provide free mental health services which include: peer support, mental health first aid training, individual and group therapy sessions. - There is no charge and all the services we deliver are free. - Due to confidentiality no picture are taken when delivering our mental health services. -Here is an article from our recent partnership with Nike in providing free services to black communities - https://about.nike.com/en/newsroom/releases/nike-black-community-commitment-london-grants - Here is our Instagram page - https://www.instagram.com/reset_mh/
