Who We Are
Food for Thought CIC is a community wellbeing organisation operating as a community contract caterer. We provide reliable, dignified food as part of everyday community programmes and services.
We are not a food charity in the traditional sense, and we are not a catering company with a social angle.
We exist as food-led community infrastructure supporting participation, routine and connection wherever food is part of community life.
What We Stand For
Food for Thought CIC is built on five non-negotiables:
- Dignity before volume
People deserve proper meals, not minimum provision. - Prevention over crisis
Supporting people earlier is more effective than responding later. - Doing over talking
We build confidence, routine and connection through practical action, not pressure or explanation. - Consistency builds trust
Reliable food, familiar faces and predictable structure matter.
Our focus is on early intervention and preventing disengagement, using food as a practical, dignified tool delivered through reliable community contract catering.
Food is not the outcome.
Food is the infrastructure that allows outcomes to happen.
