Opportunities with Bags Of Taste

About

Bags of Taste is a UK-based non-profit organisation that aims to transform the lives of people at risk of poverty-related health inequalities by providing them with the help and practical support needed to buy and cook tasty, healthy, and affordable food. Since its inception in 2014, Bags of Taste has empowered over 15,000 individuals to improve their health, diets, and finances, thereby giving them more control over their food choices and reducing their reliance on takeaways and ready meals. The organisation operates nationally, working with around 2,500 participants annually, and was recognised with the global .ORG award for innovation in 2019.

Bags of Taste addresses the social determinants of health that lead to poor dietary choices among low-income individuals. The programme provides participants with a free bag of ingredients, step-by-step recipes, and basic equipment, along with mentorship from experienced volunteers, many of whom are qualified nutritionists or food teachers. The programme is designed to be comprehensive, tackling multiple barriers simultaneously to achieve significant behavioural change and improve participants' mental and physical health.
