About Us
Our vision is a UK where no one goes hungry. We want to demonstrate how hunger and its underlying causes can be addressed, and use this learning to advocate for systemic change to eliminate hunger in the UK.
Thanks to your generous support, the Feeding Britain network has, in partnership with likeminded organisations:
- Continued our Healthy Holidays programme which provides nutritious meals and enriching activities for more than 40,000 children and their families during school holidays, and which led to the Government introducing a national Holiday Activities and Food programme with more than £220 million of funding.
- Distributed 2 million meals to vulnerable people and families on low incomes since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
- Established, maintained, and supported 40 community food hubs, including our flagship Citizens’ Supermarkets, which provide affordable nutritious food and wraparound help on a regular basis for 4,000 families and individuals.
- Created an employability programme for 45 young people in search of work.
- Provided specialist support, advice, and advocacy to 3,000 people on the brink of destitution and, in the process of this Pathways From Poverty programme, increased their annual incomes by a combined total of £500,000 while busting the limits that poverty places on people’s lives.
- Operated 6 Fuel Banks which have supported more than 20,000 unable to afford food, gas, or electricity.

Our Theory of Change
Feeding Britain is building a movement to alleviate and eliminate hunger, and we know we can’t do it alone. By innovating new approaches, and showing how hunger can be tackled in a diverse range of places around the country, we will contribute a road map to tackling hunger in our communities.
By sharing this learning with others and using it to work for national policy reform, we will ensure hunger becomes a thing of the past.
