Project Food Annual Newsletter 2025 – Making an Impact Together

We’re excited to share our Annual Newsletter for 2025, packed with stories of resilience, community, and the difference your support makes every day.

This year has been challenging for many. Rising food costs and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis mean more families are struggling to access healthy meals and basic cooking skills. At Project Food, we’ve worked tirelessly to respond:

1,091 people supported, including 236 children
60+ local partnerships strengthening our reach
181 sessions delivered, from diabetes courses to family cook-alongs
905 community meals shared and 980 frozen meals provided

Highlights include:

  • Cooking with Diabetes – empowering people to manage their health through practical, hands-on sessions.
  • Cooking with Kids – helping families on tight budgets learn to cook nutritious meals together.
  • Our new Food Hub – a welcoming space in Axminster where people cook, share, and connect.

But small charities like ours face real challenges. In 2024, 921 charities closed, most with incomes under £1 million. To keep delivering vital services, we urgently need to raise £35,000 this year.

Every donation counts:

  • £10 funds two recipe bags for families
  • £25 provides a week’s meals for a family in food poverty
  • £100 supports a tailored 6-week cooking course
