Charity of the Year

Our food makes a difference

At The Feed, we believe good food can change lives.

Through our food and spaces, we help people across Norwich eat well, live well and feel connected. You might know us from the café in Waterloo Park or the catering at your last work event. We’re a charity, so every penny of profit goes into our community work, from our Social Supermarket on Hall Road to cooking workshops, and one-to-one support.

Dignity and choice, back on the shelf

Our Social Supermarket is for anyone in Norwich feeling the squeeze of the rising cost of living. Membership is free and there’s no means-testing. Members choose their own shopping, just as they would anywhere else, with household items around 40% cheaper than other supermarkets.

Every year, we also give away thousands of kilos of fresh fruit, vegetables, bread and hygiene products at no charge. For many households, that’s the difference between going without and getting by.

Support beyond the shelves

Money worries rarely come on their own. Our team helps individuals and families find their way through complex systems, from benefits and energy bills to housing, so they can reach the support they’re entitled to.

Next door to the supermarket, our Community Café brings hundreds of people together through cooking workshops and nourishing hot meals. It’s somewhere to learn new skills, share a meal and meet people.

Five easy ways to get involved

Everything we do is powered by our community, and there are lots of ways you can help us make a difference:

• Visit our café. Feeling peckish? Pop into our Waterloo Park Pavilion Café. Every coffee and cake helps fund our community work.
• Book us to cater. Need a delicious spread for your meeting, celebration or event? Our catering team has you covered.
• Hire our venue. Our large, sunny community room above Waterloo Park café is perfect for meetings, workshops and gatherings.
• Partner with us. We’d love to hear from businesses and community groups who want to work with us, from staff fundraising to supplying food.
• Donate. If you have spare pennies, a donation of any size helps keep our shelves stocked and our doors open.

Supporting us supports your community

In Norwich, we look out for each other, and choosing The Feed is one more way to do that. Whether you buy a sandwich, book a room or make a donation, you’re helping your neighbours eat well, live well and feel connected.
