About Be Enriched

Be Enriched was formed in September 2013 by a group of youth workers, arts professionals and young people to provide others the opportunity to develop skills and improve community cohesion through training and volunteering opportunities. Together the group started the Canteens Project, a short-term activity to provide young offenders with an alternative community service opportunity. After a month, with 40 regulars and utilising a huge amount of surplus food, those involved could clearly see that there was an ongoing need for food and friendship in the community.

Now, Be Enriched has expanded to three Community Canteens serving over 3,000 meals in 2022, working with 650 volunteers. The team also runs the unique Food Bus, providing low-cost food in Lambeth and Wandsworth, while helping to tackle holiday hunger with Kids Clubs when schools are closed.
