Wandsworth Community Transport
Wandsworth Community Transport is a registered charity providing specialist transport services across the Borough of Wandsworth for Community Groups and individuals with mobility problems.
“We operate a door-to-door shopping shuttle/outings programme for elderly disabled people who live in Wandsworth. This service is a real lifeline for vulnerable, isolated local people and for many the only time they leave their home is when our minibus comes to collect them. The shopping shuttle is a fully integrated service, our vehicles collect passengers from their homes and take them to our Shopmobility unit in central Wandsworth where volunteers push wheelchairs, lend a guiding arm etc. This service enables housebound Wandsworth residents to do their own shopping and provides a chance to meet new friends. Our programme of outings is run on a similar basis, the day trips to the coast are particularly popular. Our passengers refer to these day trips as their “holiday”.
Oak Lodge School
Oak Lodge is a regional maintained Special Education Needs school in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Oak Lodge School provides education for pupils aged 10 to 19; who are deaf and/or who have speech, language and communication needs (SLCN).
The school ensures the development of each student’s full language and communication potential, using a student-centred multi-modal approach to language development which includes BSL, Sign Supported English (SSE), spoken English, written English and the use of visual and kinaesthetic learning strategies.
One Trust
One Trust started life as a council run service, becoming an independent charity in 2015 – a natural progression for Learning Disability Day Services that places people at the forefront of decision making and governance.
The transition from children’s services to adult services can be a difficult time, all the more so because adult provision has traditionally failed to match the higher resources available to young people. One Trust seeks to bridge the gap in this quality and raise the bar for adult services.
As a charity, our purpose is to invest all our resources to run and improve the services we offer.
Little Village
Little Village supports families with babies and children under five living in poverty across London. We run a baby bank network, collecting, sorting and passing on pre-loved clothes and equipment. Parents are also supported by our dedicated signposting and guidance team, who offer advice and links to other services. In addition, we work with families to share their stories and campaign to fix the systems that trap them in poverty.
We are based in London, with hubs in Camden, Wandsworth, Southwark, Brent, Hackney and Hounslow.
Since we launched in 2016, we’ve supported over 25,000 children across London.
Our values of love, solidarity, thriving and sustainability underpin everything we do.
