ALDI HANWORTH - TWICKENHAM ROAD (opening 1st October)

Food for Thought Heathfield distributes food to our community that would otherwise have been discarded from local supermarkets, restaurants and independent food outlets . We offer a pop up stall on Heathfield Recreation Ground on a Thursday and Saturday. Our offering is for everybody! We want those who need food to have it. Our visitors also choose surplus for environmental reasons, saving from landfill and reducing carbon footprint. We encourage everybody to use surplus food to help themselves and others, gifting and cooking for their families and the rest of the community. We do not charge for food - ultimately what we offer would have gone in a bin! Those who wish to donate help us to continue feeding as well as supporting redevelopment and the community around us.

British Heart Foundation (BHF) is a UK-based charity dedicated to funding research into heart and circulatory diseases, including conditions like heart disease, stroke, vascular dementia, and diabetes. Founded in 1961, the BHF supports scientific research, public health education, and life-saving care initiatives. The charity also runs a network of shops selling donated items to raise funds. Its mission is to beat heartbreak forever by improving prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular conditions. The British Heart Foundation (BHF) Twickenham shop operates from a centrally located retail premises on King Street Twickenham, serving as a vital part of the local high street community. Our shop offers a wide selection of donated goods including clothing, books, homeware, and electrical items, with all proceeds supporting life-saving cardiovascular research and patient care across the UK. Our primary service users are customers and supporters who shop, donate items, or volunteer with us. We also serve individuals looking for affordable, high-quality goods, particularly those affected by the cost of living. We identify their needs through daily engagement in-store, feedback, and through our volunteer network, which keeps us connected to the local community. Beyond retail, we provide opportunities for volunteering and skill-building for people from all walks of life, including students, jobseekers, and retirees. These roles help build confidence, retail experience, and a sense of community. While we don’t provide direct food support, we regularly collaborate with local organisations and community groups where needed. There is no charge for the services we provide—volunteering, donating, and community involvement are all free to participate in. Items sold in-store are reasonably priced to ensure accessibility for all. We do not currently collect surplus food, as our focus is on donated goods. However, we support sustainability and waste reduction through the reuse and recycling of donated items. Our shop has been involved in various community projects and events, and we have received recognition in local newsletters and social media for our fundraising and outreach efforts. We are proud to be seen as a friendly and welcoming presence in Twickenham.
