Everyone in the community can help and everyone can benefit and together we can build a stronger community and a brighter future for our planet Waste to Plate runs a community shop in Thames Ditton and operates a donation model as a contribution towards our overheads . We have a quota of food which can be taken for FREE eg fruit , veg , fridge and freezer items, refill station , unlimited bread, storage cupboard items . The neighbourly collection items go to support this along with supporting our soup initiative for teens living in food poverty studying external exams - where we provide them with food on a daily basis to make their soup In addition to that we buy in surplus food at a very low cost or access free food through our own direct partnerships and make this available at a low cost through a donation model to cover the cost of the food purchases and the running costs of the community shop .

The Moving on Together Community Support Group is a peer-led voluntary group run by ex-clients of the Kingston Wellbeing Service. Members have overcome their own addictions and decided that they would like to help others in the local area who are still struggling on their own journey of recovery. All of the committee members are peer mentors, who have been in your shoes. They know what it is like to be held back from achieving your full potential because of addiction and they fully understand the problems that accompanies this. They are all here to support people throughout their recovery. On Thursday afternoons, between 1pm and 4pm at Kingsgate Community Church, 161A Clarence street, Kingston Upon Thames KT1 1QT , we provide a free lunch and foodbank. We have a variety of support agencies who will be available to support with additional needs. Challenging and exciting times are ahead.
