Food insecurity in Bristol
Food insecurity exists right on our doorstep. It is the result of structural inequalities that lead to many challenges in people’s lives, from adequate housing and energy poverty to health problems and unemployment. It requires action from local and national government and cannot be addressed in a way that neglects other interconnected issues.
1 in 12
In 2023/ 2024, 1 in 12 households in Bristol experienced moderate to severe food insecurity.
There are many brilliant community food projects delivering vital services to address food insecurity, and responding to the experiences of communities across the city. But for these crucial initiatives, funding and support is often precarious, difficult to access and restrictive.
Our vision
A city where everyone can access good, nutritious, affordable, culturally appropriate food, and this accessibility is driven and led-by empowered communities -
local people, movements, community projects and organisations.
Our mission
Bristol Local Food Fund exists to develop and sustain a grant funding programme that supports community food projects across Bristol to tackle food insecurity and support food justice, using a participatory grantmaking approach to provide regular, accessible, equitable and flexible funding.

Our impact so far
By 2024, we have awarded grants of £173,100 to 29 community food projects across the city - some funded on multiple occasions. Sadly, food insecurity continues to affect thousands of people across Bristol, so we are continuing to fundraise as much as possible every year, until everyone in our city can access good, nutritious, affordable and culturally appropriate food.
