Bristol Charity Advent Calendar 2021, day 18: Heart of BS13

By Bristol24/7  Thursday Dec 16, 2021

The latest charity that we’re championing on our charity advent is Heart of BS13. 

At its core, Heart of BS13 takes action to challenge food insecurity, improve the environment and address physical and mental health concerns.

Just one of the things that the organisation does to tackle food poverty is through the Real Meal Store. With one in eight households reporting food insecurity in BS13, the charity has been aware for a long time that the food crisis pre-dated the pandemic and was largely being overlooked.

During the lockdown, the Real Meal kitchen sent out 40,000 meals to over 400 households as part of their food response. Heart of BS13 is producing quality, pre-prepared, home-style ready meals using ingredients grown by the Kitchen Garden Enterprise team.

To support the cause, you can order from the Pay it Forward range, which means that you’ll be supporting a household of 4 people to have delicious, high-quality food choices plus additional professional support to tackle the challenges they face.

And to use the services, anyone in BS13 is able to refer themselves. You can phone 07500 599637 for an informal chat to find out more.
