Beyond Food Foundation Information

At Beyond Food, we use food to remove barriers that inhibit individuals from securing financial independence, freedom from isolation, and confidence to build better futures. Food plays a crucial role in helping people to live healthier lives, stand on their own two feet, and understand healthy life choices. Learning life skills such as cooking provides the building blocks to create a life with purpose. We support & coach individuals whose lives have unravelled, for whatever reason, people often need reconnection, inspiration, and encouragement to enable them to aspire to meaningful employment or simply to continue on a positive pathway. Freshlife Our Freshlife programme is aimed at individuals furthest away from work opportunities, for whatever reasons. The three-week programme helps individuals who need support to focus on their future. Identifying their barriers to progression and understanding how to overcome and manage these. The programme provides reflection, self-awareness, personal leadership and ownership whilst giving aspirations for long-term change. Promoting career opportunities and ambition to set goals.
