Brixton Soup Kitchen Blog

My name is Solomon Smith and I am the founder of the homeless organisation Brixton Soup Kitchen.
This project provides people with hot meals, support and advice, promoting increase in independence and the potential to move on.
The project is run by four staff and over eight volunteers. The service is completely free and totally funded by donations from our own pocket and the help from Greggs in Brixton and Pret A Manger in Vauxhall.
We have established strong partnerships within the industry to help find employment and training opportunities, This project is designed to help people consolidate their recovery, build up their self-esteem, learn useful and practical skills, become involved in voluntary work and improve their employment opportunities.
Last year we appeared on ITV on the show Surprise Surprise that went out to 7.3 Million people and is still showing, We also have been given a brand new £10,000 car by The Sun Newspaper. We have been approached by companies such as Sage (Games Company) Bentley, BBC and Channel 4 for future work to promote the work we do and to show awareness on homelessness.
Enough about us........
We have been approached by Hilton Hotel & Channel 4 to organise a Black tie fundraising event to raise £24,000 to buy a catering van so that we can use it as a mobile soup kitchen. Please click on the the link below to donate. gogetfunding.com/project/mobil...
We need your help! We are having an auction and our PR is trying to reach out to Tim Wonnacott from BBC to be our auctioneer on the night of the Black Tie event (Date to be confirmed)
Please let me know if this is possible and something you can help us with.
