The city

In Bristol, many communities face the twin challenge of food poverty and social disconnection.

91+
languages and cultures exist here in Bristol, and yet our city is highly segregated. Communities have few opportunities to meet one another across cultural and geographical boundaries.
1 in 12
households in Bristol now experience food insecurity – a number that doubles to 1 in 6 households in some of the city’s most disadvantaged areas (JSNA, 2022/23). These households do not always have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food.

The community

91 Ways gathers diverse groups together, using the power of sharing food to open conversation, make genuine connections and build common ground.

We work to alleviate food poverty by empowering communities to make more informed decisions around their health and nutrition. Participants leave our courses with cookery skills and the ability to make better quality food for themselves and their families.

Education, Community, Courses & Classes

From 8 week courses to one-off workshops, our free community classes are a chance to cook socially, improve cookery skills and learn how to make nutritious, cost-effective dishes.

Intercommunity Events & Supper Clubs

Our empowering and celebratory events are for people of all ages, genders, classes and ethnicities. The charity’s trademark supper clubs are hosted by ordinary home cooks from different communities, showcasing their favourite dishes and telling their stories.

Cookalongs and Catering

Bringing people together through food is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s an online or in person cookalong led by one of our amazing community cooks or delicious catering for your event, we create shared food experiences that connect people and celebrate culture.

We’ve helped bring together over 45,000 people through our work with Bristol communities

Volunteer

Volunteers help us in a variety of ways, the most common being assisting with preparing and serving food at our events. They also help us spread the word about our work and provide invaluable support for our campaigns. We love our volunteers!
