Dear neighbours,

This is Laura, a local cook and nutritionist. You might remember my past posts and appeals since October 2020.

During each school holidays, I have been shopping, cooking, preparing and packing free food hampers and meals for those in need of support in our local community. Children are provided a full packed lunch with fresh fruit & vegetables, snacks and a drink.

This is an offer to ANYONE in genuine need. No question asked, food is collected anonymously from a collection point, contactless and no question is asked. Food is available between 6-8pm in the evening.

For meals requests please send me a pm, text me on 07725941715 or email laura@nutriwell.co.uk

Edit* Collection points in KT1 & KT2

This is a one person job so far, with the help of my little children. Some generous, supportive friends are now getting together and we are setting up a fully non-for-profit charity, also with the support of Kingston Voluntary Action so things are going in a very good direction. However, while this is happening and we can ask for grants, we rely exclusively on donations of food items or funds for shopping.

In October 2020 half-term, 63 meals were collected. In December 2020, at least 200 food hampers were donated, packed and collected. In February 2021, we donated 57 meals & 10 family food hampers. The need is real and hitting the most vulnerable in our community.

Thank you for the amazing support and contributions so far! We have £150 left in the pot and this will be spent immediately for food shopping.

This initiative will run until 19th April.

How can you help?

✅ Please share with family & friends or let your local community centres or churches. They might know a family in need!

✅ Get in contact for food and ingredients donations

✅ For those who live far away, you can make a contribution to this page https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/foodcollectionchristmas

✅ Offer your porch door as a collection point (anyone in KT1, Kingston Hill or Norbiton would be ideal or even further in the borough)

Thank you.
