Overview
We work closely with prisons, their staff and their residents on the topic of food. We design unique initiatives that enable prisons to champion healthy, nutritious and inventive food. Collaborating closely with catering staff, we help develop original menus, specifically designed to cater to the unique needs of their own population.

Our community of chefs and food industry experts assist in delivering this in an exciting and meaningful way, adhering to the financial and logistical needs of each prison. In the past, we have run successful recipe competitions, partnering with Michelin starred restaurants, Masterchef winners and some of the country’s top chefs. These initiatives help forge connections and create opportunities in the food industry for individuals who are statistically less likely to gain employment after release - only 17% of people are in PAYE employment a year after leaving prison.
We educate prisoners in a practical and engaging way on the benefits of cooking and eating well and we involve these individuals in every part of the process. Healthy eating isn’t just about diet - it’s about understanding how to maintain a positive relationship with food in the long-term. Together, we help cultivate a culture around food in prison that equips prisoners with the increased knowledge and wellbeing they need to help them achieve a good quality of life on the outside.
