Each week on Kingston Nub News we are going to profile a different charity.

These organisations need our help right now so here is everything about them - in their own words.

We are Save the World Club (STWC) and today we would like to introduce ourselves as many people in the community are still unaware of who we are and what we do! Save the World Club is a local not for profit charity, charity reg number: 1096271.

We focus on community support in RBK, including feeding the vulnerable and those in need, repairing, reusing and recycling goods (including some upcycling) and finally encouraging community engagement, culture and the arts.

We are entirely run by volunteers and have no permanent staff. Save the World Club was established in 1989 and we are located in a warehouse we call "the Circulatory" next to Berrylands train station.

Feeding those in need consists, primarily, of collaborating with supermarkets to remove food that is past its sell by date, this food is still perfectly good but can't be sold and would otherwise be incinerated.

This food is then provided to other charities around RBK to support their operations, some of which we provide to individuals sheltering or those struggling with increasingly common food poverty.

Our repair, reuse and recycle aspects consist of taking goods people no longer need or want, preventing them from going to landfill and passing them on for a small donation to help us keep the space we currently hold. We provide goods for far less than new, supporting those financially struggling with affordable goods.

Our community engagement consists of events run by us at our premise, mosaic making and the encouragement of the arts in the community.

If you need to find us, our address is: Unit 5, The Circulatory, Chiltern Works, Chiltern Drive, Surbiton, Surrey, KT5 8LS. Look for the big blue barn doors at the end of the drive next to Berrylands train station.
