This page allows Volunteers within Feed the Homeless Bristol to provide information on their availability to "Walk" on a particular night that the charity operates. The charity operates around central Bristol feeding the homeless people who look to our support for a hot meal, produce, fruit, snacks and a hot or cold drink. It allows the walkers to see fellow volunteers and what equipment may be needed that evening. Once a desired amount of volunteers has been reached, you may be added to the "reserve list" and if willing, contacted should circumstances change and someone has to drop out. Please red the guideline at the following link to give a better understanding and also Like and share our facebook page which is updated weekly. https://www.feedthehomeless.org.uk/walkguidelines/ https://www.facebook.com/fthBRISTOL/

Super Supper Club is a twice weekly community meal on Mondays and Wednesdays; held in the warm, homely space of The Pickle factory, All Hallows road, Easton, Bristol BS5. All are welcome. We serve a three-course meal on Mondays at 5pm and at 7pm on a Wednesday evening, made from surplus food with both vegans, vegetarians and meat-eaters catered for. Mondays is more family orientated as it is earlier and provides children friendly food such as pizza, scotch eggs, lasagne etc. The environment at The Pickle factory is a homely one, with Super Supper Club encouraging diners to share the food around a single communal table and then clear up together afterwards. Wednesdays tends to attract friends, singles and regulars with a more international flavour and we often have theme nights such as Indian or Spanish nights. We put out surplus food on a Wednesday which people can take home for free such as bread, fresh fruit and vegetables and cupboard store food. Our community meal is much like visiting a friend's house... arrive early and you may be asked to help prepare or lay the table...stay late and you may be asked to help wash up.. Super Supper Club aims to reduce social isolation, creating a space in which members of the community can come eat, chat, interact, making new connections in a warm inviting space. Volunteers are welcome to join in preparing the meal every Wednesday from 5pm - diners are welcome to join in eating the community meal, made predominantly from surplus food, every Wednesday from 7pm. Super Supper Club accepts a small donation of £4 for adults and £1 for children which helps us cover our operational costs such as rent and cleaning.

We are a community fridge that takes surplus food from local businesses and suppliers, using trained volunteers, and make it available in a public place to anyone who wants it. Our current home is in the library in the Keynsham Civic Centre on Market Walk. The main purpose of the community fridge is to reduce food waste. Food waste is a big issue in the UK. Around 10 million tonnes of food waste is produced in the UK every year, of this an estimated 60% could be avoided. Food waste also produces greenhouse gases when it decomposes  and is a net contributor to global warming.  On average, over the last 4 years, we have kept 1.5 tonnes of food waste per month out of landfill. The food, mostly fresh food, although we do also receive some ambient food, is available for free to anyone who wants it, with no eligibility requirements. In taking food people are asked to consider others, we get approximately 50 people per day using our service, and take only one small bag of food per person, per day. Our service helps to address food poverty as well as raise awareness about waste, food security and living in a sustainable manner. We are a not for profit company limited by guarantee. We are registered as a Food Company by B&NES and have completed all the HACCP protocols, risk assessments and health & safety protocols. Our policies can be seen in the documents of this page.
