Be Enriched

Be Enriched We are a charity, based in South London, working hard to reduce social isolation through food and friendships.

Enriching Communities through food and friendship in South London. We run Community Canteens, the Food Bus and Kids Clubs

At Be Enriched, we bring people together through food and friendship. We challenge loneliness and food insecurity by running a variety of projects in South London. Three times a week our Community Canteens welcome volunteers who turn surplus food into a delicious three-course

meal, and anyone in the community is invited to join us. Guests can enjoy healthy, vegetarian food, meet new people, and share stories. Our Food Bus drives across South London boroughs, selling low-cost groceries and fresh produce in areas that have limited access to supermarkets and affordable food. We run Kids’ Clubs in the school holiday for children who would receive free school meals in term-time, where we provide a free lunch, and fun, educational activities. At Be Enriched, we work closely with our sister charity, Brixton People’s Kitchen, where we both share the ethos that nobody should ever be hungry or lonely.
