Our company remains dedicated to tackling food poverty and social disadvantage in Croydon. Rising living costs, low incomes, and cuts to social care funding continue to place severe pressure on local families, elderly residents, and individuals experiencing homelessness. In response, A R Projects CIC delivered a range of services during the financial year to provide both immediate relief and long-term support. Soup Kitchens – We operated twice-weekly soup kitchens, providing hot meals and food parcels. On average, 800 meals were served per month, alongside further food support, offering dignity and a safe community space for those in need. Food Bank – Through our food bank we redistributed over 3 tonnes of surplus food each month, including both emergency parcels and fresh surplus produce, preventing waste and supporting families in crisis. Pathway to Employment – With grant support, we delivered our Pathway to Employment programme, helping people transition from food insecurity or homelessness into training, volunteering, and sustainable work opportunities. Youth Workshops – We ran a 3-month business programme for young people, equipping them with practical enterprise skills, confidence, and pathways into future opportunities. Community Tent – Alongside our Thursday soup kitchen, we launched a portable community hub offering haircuts, clothing, baby essentials, shoes, and access to local services, creating a wider support network for vulnerable residents. Community Benefit Across these services, over 1,000 people per month benefited from our support. Our initiatives reduced food poverty, improved wellbeing, and created opportunities for long-term stability. Many of our 50+ active volunteers are themselves former service users, reflecting our commitment to community-led change. By collaborating with partners including the Felix Project, supermarkets, schools, and local organisations, we amplified our reach and maximised community impact.
