We’re raising funds to provide access to healthy food through delicious nutritious community meals for people experiencing food insecurity. Your donation could help people across London feel well nourished and empowered, inspiring the hope and joy that sharing a meal together brings.

Around 1 in 7 households with children and 11% of adult Londoners, are experiencing food insecurity; a lack of access to sufficient safe and nutritious food for normal growth, development, and an active and healthy life. At FEAST, 73% of FEAST diners experience severe food insecurity, not eating for a whole day because they couldn't afford to eat or get access to food. Food insecurity significantly increases levels of anxiety by 72%, depression by 67%, and stress by 66%.
The Big FEAST Appeal will increase access to nutrition for people at risk of food insecurity by providing warm healthy meals in line with the Eatwell guide. Working with partners and 200+ volunteers' in homeless hostels and community settings we’ll create culturally appropriate meals in welcoming inclusive spaces. Our healthy eating on a budget programme will empower people to independently access their nutritional needs, to make informed dietary choices that improve dietary behaviours.
