We nurture nutritious eating, community, 
and sustainability

FEAST is so much more than just a meal. Through our services we:
  • Nourish those who need it most with nutritious cooked meals
  • Support wellbeing and reduce loneliness through community dining and volunteering
  • Empower communities with skills and knowledge so they can climb the food ladder
  • Promote sustainability by using surplus food as much as possible
  • Influence change through research and sharing learnings

All of our work is underpinned by our values

Collaborative – We work together as one team and with our stakeholders openly and respectfully – bringing diverse skills and experiences to design and deliver our services and achieve our vision and mission.

Inclusive – We value equality, fairness and dignity, and create a positive and inclusive environments for our team, volunteers and service users and are committed to learning.

Empowering – We provide inspiration, opportunities, and support to enable our team, volunteers and service users to develop capabilities, confidence, and independence 

Innovative – We are curious and creative – proactively seeking new ideas to improve ourselves, the organisation, and our services to make a bigger and longer term positive impact for our stakeholders. 

Empathetic – We are sensitive and understanding – we actively listen and learn from our team, volunteers, and service users to better appreciate and adapt to their situations, challenges and perspectives. 

Food Security

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations defines food insecurity as the “situation when people lack secure access to sufficient amounts of safe and nutritious food for normal growth, development, and an active and healthy life.”

o measure food insecurity among our service users, we use three questions from the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Security Survey Module. For more information, see the Food Foundation’s food insecurity tracker. 

People experiencing food insecurity are more likely to face anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Our programmes aim to improve food security whilst addressing mental health and well-being.
