Driven by purpose. Delivered by professionals.
King Charles III "The Earth does not belong to us — we belong to the Earth."
Taz Khan
MBE RA FRSA "Where the world sees only waste, we see the worth in it. Where it surrenders to despair, we hold out for hope."
One mission, held in balance: the people we serve, the places we root in, and the planet we all share.
Dignity, health and opportunity. We meet people where they are, raise aspirations and open real doors. A social mobility powerhouse built on respect, not hand-outs.
Rooted in London's neighbourhoods. Safe spaces, community tables and skills centres that give people somewhere to belong, and pride in where they're from.
Treading lighter on the earth. Rescuing food, cutting carbon, rewilding land and building the circular food systems a sustainable future depends on.
Where it began, and the engine everything else grew from.
The charity at the heart of the group. Rescuing surplus food and turning it into meals, dignity and opportunity across London, and building the training kitchens, pantries and pathways every other venture connects back into.
Visit the charity →Different fields, one purpose. Each is a professional operation in its own right.
Hospitality
A modern British hospitality house with a public-good mission. Fine catering, events and Harmony Catering: sustainable, ethical, and powered by students and prisoners. Every plate helps fund meals for Londoners in need.
Skills & Second Chances
Reducing reoffending through hospitality and skills at HMP Pentonville. Confidence, real culinary training, and a route back into stable work on release.
Education & Higher Learning
The group's education arm and a separate entity in its own right, delivering accredited HNDs and degree programmes that turn learning into qualifications and careers.
Our Harrow-based youth arm. Growing, cooking and green skills become confidence, routine and purpose for young Londoners, from school groups to Youth Offending Service referrals.
Short courses and skills workshops across London, thousands of students a year, creating real employment pathways from a first qualification to a foot in the door.
Products with Purpose
A growing product line with social value built in, from LDN SIP premium water (you drink, they eat) to food products with real impact. Every purchase carries measurable value, not just a logo.
Farming & Education
Transforming neglected urban spaces into working farms and outdoor classrooms since 2014, with a Plant to Plate curriculum, a growers' exchange and an app that gets children growing.
Heritage, Arts & Crafts
We believe in the power of the arts, visual, cultural and culinary, to lift people and bring communities together. From heritage crafts to the craft of the kitchen, we celebrate and promote creativity across our community hubs, with our portrait of HM King Charles III standing as a signature expression of that belief.
Research & Innovation
Our research and innovation lab. It develops new approaches to food-waste reduction and circular food systems, and produces the impact reports that measure what the group actually changes.
Front-line initiatives that put the mission into action across the city.
Programme
Our Holiday Activity & Food programme delivers over 120,000 meals a year to London's most vulnerable children: food, activity and enrichment through every school holiday.
Campaign
Our ongoing awareness and fundraising campaign, rallying Londoners, businesses and supporters to keep meals flowing to the people who need them most.
Our outlets across London: safe spaces, affordable meals and skills centres in the heart of each neighbourhood.
A neighbourhood safe space with affordable meals and hands-on training.

View coverage →Not charity as a hand-out. A ladder people climb, from a first warm meal to a career.
We lift people up while treading lighter on the planet, raising aspirations one rung at a time. Where you start need not decide where you finish.
It starts with food and dignity. A safe space and a warm plate, no questions asked.
Hands-on short courses open the first door, building belief as much as ability.
Accredited pathways turn kitchen skills into real qualifications and ambition.
Real jobs, real futures. The climb pays off, and the ladder stays open behind them.
A charity, a hospitality house, a prison programme, academies, a product line, an urban farm, a heritage-arts project and a research lab look nothing alike on paper. What makes them one movement is the operating principle underneath all of them: do work that stands up professionally, and make it pay a social dividend by design, not as an afterthought.
Rescue the surplus. Feed the community. Train the workforce. Trade to sustain it. Each part pays for the next, which is what lets it hold without permanent funding. The same structure is now taking root in five countries.
Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, Royal Academician and social entrepreneur, and the driving force behind the movement. From a single community kitchen, Taz has built a family of ventures that turn surplus food and serious hospitality into meals, skills and second chances, in London and beyond.
