Share the love

Some of the team headed along to the DLAG networking event, and were asked to give an impromptu speech about our community work on the fly. Grateful of the opportunity to share joy of fitness with purpose, we were equally inspired hearing about the incredible work Dons Local Action Group does in the area. It was a network-worthy morning, and we are looking forward to getting involved in some of the other projects as soon as we can.

Dons Local Action Group
Keeping our community fed, connected and supported

We are a local network of volunteers initially formed in response to the COVID-19 crisis and now permanent across Merton, Wandsworth and Kingston. We aim to help those in our local community to fight poverty and offer support. We provide food parcels, household goods, furniture and appliances. We also offer laptops through our Keep Kids Connected initiative for children who do not have access to online learning.
