Bringing people together across Berkshire
Driven Forward is a not-for-profit Charitable Incorporated Organisation. We bring people together through food rescue, our community fridge and local food pop-ups, helping people make their food budgets go further while reducing waste.
Our volunteers also help surplus food and useful donated goods reach local community groups. At the heart of our work is a friendly welcome and the chance for people to connect, help each other and feel included.
Our approach
We believe people should have a say in the support and activities available to them. By involving the people we support in planning and organising, we help bring together people from different walks of life.
This includes people experiencing homelessness or insecure housing. We work alongside people, recognising the contribution everyone can make.
Funds support the charity’s running costs, and any surplus is reinvested in our work.
What we do today
Our community fridge and food pop-ups bring people together around good food that might otherwise go to waste. We rescue and redistribute surplus food, helping local people make their food budgets go further.
We also share suitable donated goods with community groups, including items for raffles and fundraising activities. Our volunteers help these donations find a useful home.
