£5 Buys 1 Meal -Donate Now: Nourish, Connect & Support Young People in Coventry

Imagine a young person facing the harsh realities of winter – high energy bills, and difficult choices between food, rent and heating. Now, imagine a warm and welcoming space offering nutritious, pre-prepared meals. This is the vision behind our Nourish, Connect, Support @ Bardsley Youth Project. We want you to be a part of it!

Our warm hub project provides a safe space for young people struggling with the cost of living each winter. We offer a warm space for young people to come socialise access essential help, guidance and support. We aim to provide somewhere warm for young people to come 3 afternoons a week to try and alleviate some of the difficult choices those on a tight income face, often without familial support to fall back on.

This year, we have the opportunity to expand our services by providing healthy pre-prepared meals.

Our current warm food options are limited due to our kitchen facilities. We're excited to expand our offerings with the opportunity to provide nutritious, pre-prepared meals to better support our young people's needs. Nutritious meals are vital for young people's well-being, helping to improve their energy levels, concentration, and overall health. By partnering with us, you can directly support these young individuals and make a tangible difference in their lives. We are fortunate enough to have been offered a reduced charity rate of £5 per meal by a local food preparation company. But we need your help. Across the warm hub’s running period (October – May) , we need 600 meals to support our vulnerable young people.
