History of Soup4Lunch
The Enterprise started activities through a partnership with Hammersmith Community Garden Association and registered as a Company Limited by Guaranty in December 2014. Support came from the People’s Health Trust, School for Social Entrepreneurs, UNLTD, Hammersmith & Fulham Council, Hammersmith United Charities, The Big Local W12, and Cultivate London, among others. Most recently we began a very successful partnership with Groundwork. Our programmes run across H&F and Hounslow, and we strive to stay small and local.
