Why does East London need a SOUP?

We are part of a large community full of interesting, creative people with amazing ideas – despite this we are often too busy to connect with our wider community on a meaningful level and share in the success of some of these ideas. Sometimes this is because the project doesn’t have a platform to be heard or the resources to move forward or because it doesn’t have the exposure and essential backing from the community simply due to low awareness.

We believe East London Soup can help by bringing people together around common interest of community (and of course food) to help empower, promote, encourage and importantly fund these locally hatched ideas that ultimately benefit the surrounding community.
