At FEAST 54% of service users face moderate to severe food insecurity. Living in a reality of cutting portion sizes, skipping meals or going hungry because they can’t afford to eat. 58% of FEAST service users are experiencing homelessness and over 3 times more likely to be admitted to hospital, compared to those not experiencing food insecurity (UK Gov). The residual impacts from the cost-of-living crisis have exasperated this need, with soaring demand on food banks and other support providers.

FEAST’s Small Charites Week campaign will raise funds to increase access to nutrition, strengthen emotional wellbeing and improve health outcomes. With our volunteers we’ll provide nutritious community meals called “FEASTs” for people experiencing food insecurity. We’ll also provide healthy eating on a budget programmes, empowering people experiencing food insecurity to independently access their nutritional needs, make informed dietary choices and improve dietary behaviours on a budget.
