Solomon Smith is founder and Director of the legendary Brixton Soup Kitchen. The BSK was founded in 2013 to provide the sanctuary of community space, food, drink, warmth and a place of belonging, to some of the most vulnerable people in the community, including many local families who are homeless or living below the poverty line. The BSK is known not just as a place, but as a feeling- which is created by the heart, soul and humanity that Solomon and his dedicated team tirelessly generate for its service users every day. Just the year after it was founded Solomon was awarded the South London “Our Heroes” award for the transformational impact the Soup Kitchen was quickly established for having for its immediate service users and the wider community. The story of the Brixton Soup Kitchen is one which embodies all that is the best of humanity…. Yet it is even more incredible when you know the story of the man, the legend who founded it. Solomon is a lifelong Brixtonian who was raised on the Moorlands Estate, which he describes as one of the most notorious estates in Brixton, coming from Moorlands, you have said, the world expects you to fail. So if the world is feeling like a dark or difficult place, join us, and let your heart be ignited by the fire of the human spirit.Created and hosted by Jess MillsCreative co-production by Bonny TydemanProduced by Joel Porter - Dot Dot Dot Productions See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
