SalaryWho we are
Beyond Food provide support and empowerment to people who are experiencing, or have experienced trauma, homelessness, addiction, poor mental health, incarceration, or simply feeling excluded from society. We believe in second and third chances for everyone.
Based out of the fantastic Brigade Bar + Kitchen by London Bridge, Beyond Food harness the power of food to inspire and equip people facing chronic unemployment with the power to change their life.
Our flagship training programme, FreshLife, is a comprehensive three-weeks of emotional support and practical hospitality training. Beneficiaries are taken on a journey in a safe, welcoming and empathetic environment, most of our staff have lived experience of the common issues being faced and are taught to master chef skills – they’ll bake bread, fry mackerel, create risotto and pancetta bolognese dishes.
After completing the three-week training programme, with work experience at Brigade Bar + Kitchen, they are guaranteed employment at a number of high-end restaurant and hospitality partners in London. If they relapse, whether they start using again or even find themselves in prison, we don’t give up on them. They will be supported while they find their feet again and will re-enter the training programme when they are ready.
These skills enable those who have been excluded from work to became and remain employable. We keep in touch with our Alumni and will support them as they continue their journeys towards long-term, fulfilling employment and happier, healthier lives.
