Coronavirus (COVID-19): Business Giving
Supporting Londoners by giving goods and services
The Mayor of London and the GLA support and encourage philanthropy by leading, connecting and collaborating with key London partners to ensure communities across the capital benefit from business and individual ‘giving’ during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
We are welcoming offers of goods and services from businesses to help our key workers, our civil society organisations and our communities in response to coronavirus (COVID-19).
If your business or organisation can donate goods or services to help Londoners, please complete our form using the button below.

Their existing technology does not meet this need.
Donations of the following would be gratefully received:

Families and vulnerable Londoners who were already struggling to financially or physically access food, have been hit by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. City Hall is working with the London Food Alliance, as well as boroughs and community organisations across London, to ensure that nutritious food is delivered to those most in need.
