We serve freshly cooked breakfasts to the homeless and those at risk of homelessness, those living in food poverty or insecurity and raised energy costs in a warm and welcoming community cafe. All delivered by volunteers who bring friendship & support to all those in need in our community.

Situation
The problem of homelessness is acute in Swindon and with increasing food and energy costs more people are living in poverty. Homelessness and food poverty severely affect physical and mental health which make it more difficult to get and sustain employment and so break the cycle of hardship. This situation has a huge societal impact on health, welfare and emergency services.
Solution
Big Breakfast Plus (BB+) is the only organisation in Swindon which provides a free cooked breakfast that is individually ordered and served, providing choice for those with little choice in their lives. We welcome the homeless and those in distress whether through addiction, health or other need. Our service is also a chance to socialise in a warm place. By satisfying the basic requirement of hunger and society, our guests are better prepared for their day.
