I'm fundraising for Square Food Foundation (SFF), a food education charity based in Knowle West, running impactful programmes to support people across Bristol to learn to cook nutritious and delicious meals from scratch.

As a food lover and a mother I believe this initiative is so important to ensure children and their families have access to the knowledge and community that nutritious food provides.

Food is a foundation for life - discovering a love for food and cooking can help people to make social connections, build self-confidence, develop independence and feel part of a community.

Food insecurity in Bristol is rising, with more and more families unable to consume an adequate quality or sufficient quantity of food to sustain their good health.

By empowering people with the skills and confidence to make more informed, sustainable food choices we can reduce the impact of food insecurity and help people to lead healthier and happier lives.
