Terms

The following terms and conditions apply to all donations made on the Swan London website.

Our contract

If you place an online donation with Swan London we will send you an email confirming receipt of your donation and the details of your donation. Your donation represents an offer to us to which is accepted by us when we deliver a Final Receipt.

Description of items

We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of donation items appearing on the website are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. We reserve the right to refuse donations where item information has been mis-published, including prices and promotions.

Refunds

Under Charity Commission rules Swan London is not able to refund donations unless the donation has been made in error - such as selecting the wrong option on the online giving platform, or an administration error has occurred during processing - such as an incorrect/duplicate amount has been deducted by Swan London. In such cases the donor should contact our offices within 14 days on +44 (0) 203 490 0690 or mail info@swanlondon.org.

You will be subject to the policies and Terms and Conditions of Donation in force at the time that you use the website, unless any change to those policies or these conditions is required to be made by law or government authority (in which case it will apply to donations previously placed by you). If any of these conditions are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition.

Events beyond our reasonable control

We will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with our obligations under these conditions if the delay or failure arises from any cause which is beyond our reasonable control. This condition does not affect your statutory rights.

Foodbanks provide emergency food and support to people locked in poverty; in the UK, more than 14 million people are living in poverty – including 4.5 million children. Food poverty, social isolation and unemployment affect many people across the UK,with many people having limited funds to buy food for themselves and their loved ones. In 2020/21 approximately 2.5 million people used a foodbank in the United Kingdom, over 600 thousand more than the previous year. The number of foodbank users has increased every year, from 346,992 people using foodbanks at the time of SWAN’s genesis.

SWAN Foodbank which has been running since 2012 by our amazing team of committed volunteers, provides food parcels to the community. Over the past 12 months we have provided food parcels to over many families and during the lockdown we provided door to door food parcels deliveries. In January 2022 we opened our second weekly Foodbank at our Community Hub in Croydon.

We are supported by a number of organisations and receive weekly food donations from Dons Charity, the Felix Project, Critical NHS, JR Butchers, and supermarkets such as Lidl’s, Waitrose, M&S, Aldi, and Tesco.

We also receive regular donations from our local community including local schools and generous donors.

Please fill out a Food Parcel Request if you are elderly, ill, or in need of food aid. Fill In Form

Every week we provide 30 – 80 food packs to needy families in the community!

A regular food parcel costs £15 – £20 (depending on the size of the family)
