The Long Table is working to change the world through food.
We love to eat together. It makes us sad thinking about how many people eat alone, and angry that so much food makes people sick, it’s got us asking, what if everyone in our community had access to great food and people to eat it with?
Since the first Long Table meal in March 2018 thousands of people have eaten with us and enjoyed meals from our Freezers of Love, we’ve found wonderful ways of answering the question that we’re excited to share with you. Welcome to The Long Table, we’ve saved you a seat.
There are four areas we are working on to achieve our mission:
Community Resilience -
Providing community food hubs to create food equality. This means putting an end to food poverty and providing great food that nourishes the body, delivered through the Freezers of Love.
Food Resilience -
Shortening the distance between farm and plate and making great local food more accessible to everyone. We’re also teaching the skills to grow and cook great food with confidence.
Community Canteen -
Where all our work comes together. A space for people to congregate and combat loneliness at the same time. All set around a wonderful long table, with great food as the centrepiece.
Training and work opportunities - Through apprenticeships and The Teenage Kitchen, we’re helping young people develop their skills and cook up a career they’re excited about. We’ve seen apprentices go on to achieve great things.
