Brixton Soup Kitchen
1Xtra Talks with Richie BraveAvailable for over a year
Launched in 2013, the Brixton Soup Kitchen is a community hub providing hot meals, a food and clothes bank, legal advice and companionship to the homeless and families below the poverty line. Created by Brixton residents Solomon Smith and Mahamed Hashi, they both realised the need for a scheme to help feed and support fellow Londoners in a judgement-free space. Since its inception, the Brixton Soup Kitchen has gone from strength to strength. It's estimated they have provided over 20,000 hot meals to those in need, either on-site or distributed during drop-offs.
