Rethink Food is an award winning non-profit organisation recognised as one of the UK’s Top 100 social enterprises in the NatWest SE100 Index 2025...on a mission to create a generation of healthy, food-literate, and environmentally conscious young people. We intercept and make sense of food surplus. Educate and empower people to live food secure lives. Redistributing to primary schools, families and those that need it. We also offer education to make the food system fair and sustainable.

Inn Churches provides practical support to those who need it most across Bradford. We work with over 100 other community groups and organisations to ensure that nobody is left without shelter, food or warmth. As well as our original Winter Shelter, our Welfare Hub provides starter packs for individuals moving off the streets into their first tenancy, as well as supporting people with white goods, furniture, carpets and other items through the Acts435 crowdfunding donations site, and with duvets and food through the Warm Homes Healthy People partnership. Our Food Hub tackles food poverty and food waste by intercepting surplus and unwanted food from partners across Bradford, sorting and storing it, and redistributing it to people in need, primarily through our FoodSavers network of pop-up pantries and social supermarkets. Our Cooking Hub aims to empower, educate and inspire as many people as possible to cook great-tasting healthy food for themselves and their families, helping them to understand healthy eating, food safety in the kitchen, a range of different cooking methods and how to improve their cooking skills - all whilst having fun and meeting new friends. FoodSavers offers high quality fresh and store cupboard food for a low weekly membership fee at locations across Bradford. Much of our food is unwanted or surplus food, intercepted from being wasted. Membership also gives you the opportunity to attend cookery classes, save in a recognised Credit Union scheme, and enjoy other benefits, dependent on location. At our Storehouse warehouse we sort, store and redistribute surplus food to people in need through our FoodSavers projects and other partner community groups to enable everyone to access affordable, healthy food.

Our motivation is derived from the fact that more than a quarter of a million people are homeless in England (BBC). The figures show homelessness hotspots outside London, with high rates in Birmingham, Brighton and Luton. To continue with our organisational mission of reaching out to those needing help the most; and practicing “charity begins at home”, we started food distribution drive in Birmingham. Our charity is a community development not for profit organisation that offers food to people who are in need. It aims to offer multi-faceted contributions to communities, advances community and development goals and works to fill the overall needs for its targeted focus areas.Our faith inspires us to be an organisation built on compassion, and motivated by love.
