Social Supermarket

Shop and Donate is a social supermarket fighting food waste and food poverty, where the customer’s contribution goes towards supporting food banks, low-income families, and home bound people.

Friday 7th November 2025.
 
It is our one year anniversary today since we moved into this lovely location in Strutton Ground 🎉
 
Throughout the year we have consistently made it a priority to cater and donate to local charities around us.
 
We have provided tons of food & clothing donations to local food banks including the Pantry in Pimlico and we have donated food, clothing & essentials to the homeless charity The Passage in Victoria. These are amongst a few of the charities that we have contributed to. We have also donated books & toys to local schools too.
 
Having a local hub in an area like central Westminster is essential and it brings a lot of our community together & also local workers & commuters who see that there is a thriving community living here too & they can also take part local activities that we offer, so please continue to support us in any way you can so that we can continue our charity & community work and offer a unique service to all in this area.
 
Thank you so much for your support over the year! 🥰
 
Many thanks!
S&D Team
See you soon

Children in the UK live in households that have experienced food insecurity

4.7 million

FOOD WASTE

Over 1/3 of food produced in the world goes to waste

The UK churns out 9.5 million tonnes of food waste a year while 8.4 million people struggle to afford food = entire population in London

6.4 million tonnes could have been redistributed = over 15 billion meals

100,000 tonnes of food is wasted by UK supermarkets every year

Healthy Eating Course

We have delivered two Healthy Eating Courses so far taught by our most loved cookery teacher Sharon Gardner. All the recipes taught are vegan using only plant-based ingredients.

With funding from Common Call, we were able to offer these courses free of charge. Throughout the 4 dates, participants were sent a free bag of ingredients prior to their lesson each week.

Check out the case study from one of our favourite students!
