About the Initiative

Food for Thought is a one-day event, based at our West London drop-in centre

Your employees have the chance to meet our service users, share life experiences, and work together to bake biscuits and cakes to be sold in aid of the project.

Food for Thought is great fun, perfect for team- building, builds our service users' cofidence, and helps build bridges between participants.

Let's build better futures, together

Benefits

The event is aimed at giving our service users a sense of ownership of the project, plus a chance to work alongside professionals, boosting their confidence and improving their employability.

As well as aiding your corporate social responsibility goals, the day will give staff a better understanding of working with different people in the community, help them bond as a team, and improve their leadership and motivational skills. The event also raises vital funds for the project.
