The One Year event on 20th March marked our first year in the community. Watch here.

One year together!

Watch the video on YouTube: bit.ly/LiveOneYear to mark our 1st birthday and celebrate our community.

We are a local network of volunteers initially formed in response to the COVID-19 crisis and now permanent across Merton, Wandsworth and Kingston.

We aim to help those in our local community to fight poverty and offer support. We provide food parcels, household goods, furniture and appliances, as well as laptops through our Keep Kids Connected initiative for children who do not have access to online learning.
