Feeding Communities

The Feeding Communities team was out once again in the centre of Reading as they hosted a pizza pop-up at Reading Minster Church to feed those in need of a hot meal.  Chefs Dean Collins and Paul Bannister cooked up 60 pizzas made from 100% surplus produce.

The Feeding Communities team were out in the centre of Reading, serving up a nutritious hot meal for the homeless. This special pop-up builds upon the weekly hot food delivery from St Joesphs College, which has been taking place for the last year.

Our latest venture was to @BPSWsM. With meals made by @wellingtonsch1 and funded by NFU Mutual Rooksbride and Williton, fundraised for Feeding Communities to produce nutritious meals and distribute fresh fruit to 370 children and families. #FeedingCommunities #ThomasFranks

Last week, our Director of Nutrition and well-being, Christine Bailey, visited @IDS_UK in Brighton to discuss sustainable diets for health and the planet. During Christine’s talk, the audience was treated to a sustainable spread provided by Surplus to Purpose. #ThomasFranks

Our latest venture was to Bournville Primary School. With meals made by Wellington School and funded by NFU Mutual Williton and Rooksbridge. Freshly prepared nutritious meals and fresh fruit were distributed to 450 children and families at Bournville. #FeedingCommunities

Much of our FC work requires much work behind the scenes to be able to provide what we do. Whether gathering our volunteer army, organising delivery and storage, checking stock, and cooking the meals. Here is just a snippet of the hard work that has been done throughout 2022.

Last week, the Norwich School catering team brought holiday cheer to many local families in need, with 150 delicious Christmas meals donated to a local food bank, thanks to a donation from The Thomas Franks Foundation!" #ThomasFranks #FreshFood #Family

500 Food parcels are on their way to support charities, families and individuals in London this month. Barings have continued to support the Thomas Franks Foundation across 2022 and once more have helped Feeding Communities in supporting the London Community this Christmas.
