We are a National Lottery funded CIC, supporting asylum seekers who have escaped some of the worlds most dangerous places, through the power of community and food. We create a safe space for asylum seekers & refugees to eat, be seen, heard and celebrated. Our integrated community moments hold the long term goal of fostering empathy and understanding for this wrongfully stigmatised community. We practice interdependence as a tool to enrich the lives of those we work with across both asylum seekers, refugees and our incredible network of volunteers. We believe in a world that is no longer a binary space of this or that, him or her, old or young, those with or those without… but a revolving cycle of us. You eat, We Eat, Everyone eats.
How We Show Up
We believe in the power of human connection and champion joyful communal activity. This provides both contribution and belonging that has often been lost through displacement. We prioritize nourishment of our community through nutritious soul-food and creativity, music & movement that inspires self expression.
