About us
Brixton Soup Kitchen is community space for homeless people or people in desperate need. The Soup Kitchen aspires to provide food, drink and companionship in a warm and friendly environment on a weekly basis. Since that time we have served over 25,000 meals either eaten on site or distributed during food drop offs and outreach sessions. Since starting the 'Brixton Soup Kitchen' we have received food donations from Pret A Manager, Greggs, Nandos, Satay Brixton, Marks and Spencer’s and media support from The Voice Newspaper, Channel 4 and The South London Press who awarded us with the 'Our Hero's Award' in April 2013 as well as being nominated in the Independent on Sunday’s Happy 100 list and being featured in the Evening Standard’s top 1000 influential list 2015. We have also appeared in a number of national programs including Surprise Surprise and BBQ Champ 2015. The word about the good work at 'Brixton Soup Kitchen' has been spreading which would not have been possible without the support we receive from our volunteers and unpaid staff members. The soup Kitchen is now is working towards becoming a recognised support centre for the community as a whole. It is hoped that extra facilities can be added to the already popular centre including job searching support, advice on housing and benefits and a night shelter for those in dire need. However in order to achieve this, a lot of support will be needed.Soup Kitchen is community space for homeless people or people in desperate need.

Hi network! Since May, I have been volunteering as a chef at Brixton Soup Kitchen, a commitment I began as a way to give back to my community. My decision to start in May was inspired by my birthday, a time when I usually reflect on what I can do for myself. Instead, I chose to focus on what I could do for others. Most of my time this summer was dedicated to preparing meals and packing up orders for takeaways at the kitchen, an experience I've thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much from. I plan to continue this work, as it has become a meaningful way for me to make a positive impact, and showed me the poverty that lays right on our doorstep, especially in this cost of living crisis. Below are some of the pics I took of the food I made this summer and the process! :)

Last week, I had the privilege of visiting the Brixton Soup Kitchen and meeting with its inspirational founder Solomon Smith. It was an eye opening experience to see the amazing work they do to support individuals in need within our community. We were pleased to donate essential items, but I was especially grateful for the opportunity to have an in depth conversation with Solomon about how businesses like ours can work together to make a greater impact. #averycommunity #onefamily #averyhealthcare #communitysupport #patnerships #brixtonsoupkitchen #wimbledon #carecommunity

Thoughout August & September volunteers from UKG eagerly supported the Back to School Drive being organised by Brixton Soup Kitchen, who had been looking for donations to help underprivileged children get access to school uniforms and other school essentials. In order to support this amazing initiative, the EMEA FireUP ERG made a donation towards this worthy cause. In addition, a number of FireUp members went to help pack and distribute the supplies to nearly 2000 children in London. The event was also attended by the local Mayor which gave us the opportunity to share details of the fantastic UKG ERG programme & how through that, we support charities & initiatives all over the world. FireUP were really happy to take part and contribute to such an worthy cause, enabling more children to attend school on equal terms alongside their classmates. Thank you to our volunteers for supporting with this cause & we look forward to supporting others in the future!
