What FEAST With Us does

FEAST With Us is a registered charity (Charity Registration Number 1172884) founded in 2015 by Hannah Style and headquartered in London, UK. The organisation addresses food insecurity by providing nutritious meals, food-skills education, and nutrition research to vulnerable populations across six London boroughs — Camden, Islington, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Southwark, and Redbridge. Its beneficiaries include people experiencing homelessness, older adults on low incomes, refugees and asylum seekers, and individuals with mental health challenges; approximately 400 people are served weekly across 17 venues, with 27,788 meals provided in 2025.

The organisation's core products and programmes are: (1) Community Meals delivered across partner venues, combining surplus food redistribution with dietitian-developed menus; (2) the Healthy Eating on a Budget programme, a CPD-accredited nutrition education curriculum that delivered 48 sessions to 74 participants in 2024; (3) Nutrition Research, anchored by a partnership with University College London; and (4) Food Partnership Coordination, a backbone-convener model that brings together local authorities, NHS bodies, hostels, and community organisations at the borough level. A Recipe Book serves as both a beneficiary resource and a fundraising asset.

FEAST With Us operates a diversified non-profit income model. Revenue (more accurately, charitable income) is sourced from individual donations (approximately £25 funds five meals), corporate partnerships (including a multi-year Dentons Charity of the Year commitment and a £10,000 matched donation from Global Make Some Noise), trust and foundation grants, and statutory funding (notably Camden Council commissioning during the COVID-19 pandemic for 25,000 meals). Operations are supported by 15 paid staff, a broader team of approximately 29 contributors, and 236 active volunteers, suggesting a lean paid-staff model that is highly volunteer-leveraged.

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Single Homeless Project: London homelessness charity that is both an FEAST venue partner and a peer in serving homeless populations. Provides hostel accommodation and support services that intersect with FEAST's meal-delivery offering for shared beneficiaries.

Direct peers

• Made in Hackney: London-based community food charity running plant-based cooking and nutrition programmes for vulnerable residents. Operates in one of FEAST's core boroughs (Hackney) with a similar focus on food insecurity and nutrition education.
• City Harvest: London food surplus redistribution charity and FEAST supplier partner. Operates a closely overlapping model of rescuing surplus food and redistributing to charities serving food-insecure populations across London.
• The Felix Project: London-based food surplus redistribution charity that is both a direct peer and a key supplier to FEAST. Operates in the same London geography with overlapping beneficiary base (homeless hostels, community centres) and complementary mission of preventing food waste while feeding vulnerable populations.
• The Bread and Butter Thing: UK charity operating affordable food clubs using surplus food. Uses a community-led, volunteer-supported model similar to FEAST, serving comparable food-insecure populations across multiple regions of the UK.
• FoodCycle: UK charity cooking community meals using surplus food for people experiencing food poverty. Operates very similar volunteer-driven meal services across multiple UK cities, with comparable target population (food insecure individuals) and meal-delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• FareShare: UK-wide food redistribution charity and the largest player in the sector. Operates the same surplus-food-to-charity model as FEAST's food sourcing arm but at national scale with regional warehouses; functions as an upstream supplier or alternative for many of FEAST's partner organizations.
• The Trussell Trust: UK-wide network of foodbanks supporting people in food crisis. Operates at significantly greater scale than FEAST, addressing overlapping food insecurity needs through parcel-based (rather than cooked-meal) distribution.

Others

• Pathway: UK charity improving healthcare for people experiencing homelessness. Functions as a research and policy partner rather than direct competitor, with overlapping beneficiary population and joint research outputs with FEAST on nutrition.

Regional players

• Hackney Foodbank: Borough-level foodbank in Hackney receiving Healthy Eating on a Budget programme delivery from FEAST. Addresses overlapping food insecurity needs via emergency food parcels rather than cooked meals, within one of FEAST's core boroughs.
