AMURT UK helps to reduce food poverty amongst the homeless and other vulnerable individuals, families and households
At our London Feeding Programme teams of dedicated volunteers lovingly prepare and serve warm, nutritious vegetarian meals in Hackney and Camden, London. Most of the raw ingredients come from City Harvest or the Felix Project who donate food to us that would otherwise go to waste.
Come rain or shine the food is then taken to our own distribution sites in Holborn and Hackney and served by our smiling volunteers or transported to our valued partners who serve our cooked meals at their own distribution sites in Hackney. AMURT UK has been feeding homeless people in Holborn since 2011.
The London Feeding Programme is run almost exclusively by volunteers. We have 50+ active volunteers at any one time. Over 90% of them have experienced some challenges to their mental health and wellbeing in recent years and find that volunteering for AMURT gives them a sense of community.
