Supporting families across the Bristol and South Gloucestershire areas since March 2018 to reduce costs and save money, reduce waste and the amount that goes to landfill and finally, create a stronger community spirit. At Mamas Bristol, we believe in the power of community and collective action to create positive change. Our ethos is rooted in a multiple pronged approach; affordability, sustainability, and inclusivity across the community. Affordability: We are committed to supporting families by providing access to resources and solutions that reduce costs of living with and raising dependents. By offering practical guidance, we aim to alleviate financial pressures and empower families to thrive.  Sustainability: We recognise the importance of preserving our planet for future generations. That's why we promote and work towards sustainable practices & promote opportunities that minimise waste and environmental impact.  Community: At the heart of everything we do, is a strong sense of community. We believe in the strength of solidarity and collaboration to address common challenges and achieve shared goals. By fostering connections and building relationships, we create a support network where families can find solidarity, encouragement, and inspiration. We are more than just a Facebook group, an organisation or any one person - we are a movement. A movement dedicated to making a difference in the lives of families, our communities, and the world we share.

We partner with some of the local primary schools and children's nurseries to help the parents who are struggling. We do this to ensure the food goes to where it is most needed. The schools have a good relationship with their families and know the parents that are most in need. It is our aim that no child goes hungry and also recevies a well balanced diet to include fresh fruit and vegetables.

SGYH is based on the High Street in Kingswood, where we Temporarily House 16 to 25 year old who are deemed homeless. All our residents are referred to us from South Gloucestershire Council. As the residents are homeless and are struggling we always keep food items well stocked in the communal kitchens. So they are able to eat a healthy of mixed diet. All residents pay a small service charge as most is paid by Grants and Housing Benefits.
