Bristol Charity Advent Calendar, day 22: Feeding Bristol
Feeding Bristol was founded in response to a statement made by the mayor of Bristol, Marvin Rees, when he said that “no child should go to school hungry”. In the summer of 2017, Feeding Bristol was launched.
The organisation gained charitable status the following year and is chaired by a board with representatives from local businesses, food charities, local food growers and members of the city council.
Working alongside the Board is the stakeholder engagement group made up of key players from all sectors of the community, who support the delivery of Feeding Bristol’s key priorities:
is needed now More than ever
- Working to improve provision for those with immediate need
- Increase the local community’s food skills
- Increase the food supply of good quality produce
- Work for policy change that will help us see a zero-hunger Bristol.
Feeding Bristol is an umbrella organisation which exists to influence the city, in order to see a zero-hunger Bristol.
The charity longs to see more effective and efficient long-term work to combat food poverty in Bristol.
“But if we’re to see that, we know we can’t do it by ourselves,” says Feeding Bristol’s website.
“We exist to kickstart initiatives and projects that will help us see a zero hunger Bristol. We love to build connections between organisations and individuals.”
