The Dawn Walk, September 7th, 2024
On Saturday 7th September, we hosted our first Charity sponsored 5K or 10K Dawn Walk around the stunning Dorney Lake. We would like to thank all our walkers who set their alarms early and came to the lake to help make a tangible impact on the lives of those experiencing homelessness, and those in our community who are struggling and in need. The event was a great success and we have raised approx £30,000. Our huge thanks go to British Airways for helping us make this event possible.
Staffed solely by volunteers taking time out to provide support to those in need who often have nowhere or no-one else to turn to.
Our charity formerly known as The London and Slough Run, was established in 1984. To mark and celebrate our 40th Anniversary in 2024, and to recognise the expansion of our offering as a charity, we have changed our name to London and Slough Charitable Trust. We believe this new name better reflects the work that we do.
We originated in 1984, primarily as a soup run into London and in later years, Slough, which is where we are based. The London soup run continues to this day with a team of volunteers travelling to Waterloo, Temple and Embankment every Monday night, distributing items such as food, drink, clothing, bedding and toiletries to the homeless and those in need.
In addition, we operate a food share program from Slough, whereby surplus food is collected daily from a number of local supermarkets and then re-packaged ready for immediate distribution to many local Charities/Churches & Schools, reaching those in need, every day.
