Be Enriched has had an impactful few months, continuing to empower communities through our innovative food projects. From our Food Bus Prokect to our Community Canteens and Kids Clubs, we’ve been addressing food insecurity, promoting healthier lifestyles, and fostering meaningful connections. As we prepare for the festive season, we’re excited to share our successes and plans with our valued stakeholders.
Mobile Food Project
The Mobile Food Project has become a trusted resource for the communities we serve, providing fresh, affordable food right where it’s needed. Between August and November, 1,248 customers attended the Food Bus, and 921 of them purchased items, demonstrating the vital role this project plays in bridging food access gaps. By offering low-cost, high-quality produce, we are enabling families to eat nutritiously while keeping costs manageable.
Community Canteens
Our Community Canteens have been central to fostering togetherness while addressing food insecurity. Over the past four months, we’ve welcomed 1,227 guests, who came not only to enjoy meals but also to experience the warmth and belonging of a shared space. In line with our commitment to sustainability, we’ve repurposed 1,568 kg of surplus food, transforming it into delicious meals that feed both bodies and hearts. This approach ensures that nothing goes to waste while making a tangible difference in our fight against hunger.
Kids Clubs
This autumn half-term, we were thrilled to host over 50 children on the Food Bus as part of our Kids Clubs. These sessions were filled with cooking, creativity, and, most importantly, shared meals. Thanks to our partnership with The Felix Project, the bus was stocked with fresh produce, ensuring every child and their families had access to enough healthy food throughout the holidays. These activities not only provided essential nutrition but also encouraged children to explore healthy eating, learn new skills, and enjoy the sense of community that comes with sharing food.
Looking Ahead: Christmas Campaign 2024
As the holidays approach, we’re excited to launch our Christmas Campaign, where we will share the festive spirit with over 300 people. With the help of our dedicated volunteers, we will serve more than 2,700 plates of food, creating a warm, inclusive environment for everyone to enjoy a holiday meal. This campaign embodies everything Be Enriched stands for—offering nourishment, connection, and care during a time when it matters most.
Thank you!
None of this would be possible without the continued support of our stakeholders, volunteers, and partners. Your contributions and commitment enable us to bring lasting change to the communities we serve. As we reflect on the achievements of the past few months, we’re filled with optimism for the future and look forward to continuing this important work together.
Thank you for being a vital part of our mission.
