Myself and my nine colleagues at JLL are running the famous Bristol Half Marathon on May 10 2026, we are taking up this challenge in support of the Mazi Project, a small local Bristol charity who want to create a city where everyone has access to fresh and sustainable food.

Mazi means together in Greek and together the charity; through education, health and employment, support Bristol's community in many ways. By empowering victims of domestic abuse, care leavers and youth recovering from homelessness, MAZI provide high quality meal kits delivered to young people around the city, helping vulnerable people, encouraging them to follow simple recipe cards to cook for themselves.

In addition to this, Mazi provide cooking workshops where they use the notion of the dinner table and breaking bread, to reduce isolation, build confidence and make those in need feel cared for and extraordinary.

Mazi are trying to create an environment for vulnerable people to experience the power of food and feel part of Bristol’s thriving community.

We are hoping to raise much needed funds for the charity to help with these fantastic projects.
