Share the love

I started 2025 with a food bank mission, joining a local volunteers group to help collect food donations on this wet, cold Sunday afternoon. After the 3 hour shift, collections are taken to the local hub where healthy food parcels are prepared and distributed to those in need in our local community.
Nothing short of amazing!

Dons Local Action Group
Keeping our community fed, connected and supported

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. We also offer laptops through our Keep Kids Connected initiative for children who do not have access to online learning.
