Dons Local Action Group (DLAG) is a grassroots charity dedicated to tackling poverty and social exclusion in the London boroughs of Merton, Wandsworth and Kingston.

Founded in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, DLAG quickly grew from a volunteer-led food support initiative into a highly respected, award-winning organisation. We provide essential support to people in urgent need—delivering food parcels, furniture and digital devices directly to homes, schools and partner charities.

With over 800 active volunteers and a unique model centred on dignity, speed and community engagement, DLAG has made a measurable impact on thousands of lives.

We maintain strong local roots while continuously expanding our reach and ambition. In 2023 alone, we supported more than 14,000 people and redistributed food and goods worth nearly £1 million.

DLAG became a registered charity in 2023 and is now entering an exciting new phase of growth, with a focus on sustainability, innovation and deepening community impact.
