Feeding the Family - Give Guide Grow Programme

Feeding the Family is an innovative and loving response to a need for the lonely and vulnerable in the local community of Basildon. We support social inclusion, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. We offer a programme of: providing hot meals, teaching basic cooking skills, facilitating local Eat & Meets, and the provision of volunteering opportunities.
