Tameside Meals Project
This time on Food Stories, we’re taking you out to meet one of our Community Food Members – the Tameside Meals Project. The catering group was formed during Covid by Kala
Mandviwala thanks to a local authority grant and aims to feed the most vulnerable in the local community via community organisations and social workers.
Thanks to the relationship Kala built with FareShare Greater Manchester and the access that gave her to our heavily discounted surplus food, she was able to make that initial grant funding stretch well beyond the Covid lockdowns. Since the money ran out, Kala has been fundraising to keep the organisation running and thanks to the weekly use of a kitchen in Hyde Town Hall and a willing team of volunteers,
Kala and her team cook between 150 and 250 nutritious meals each week for those in need.
In this episode, you will meet Kala as she visits FareShare Greater Manchester and then we go out to Hyde Town Hall kitchen to see the Tameside Meals Project team in
action.
If you enjoy listening to this episode, please share it with anyone who you think would benefit from listening too!
If you’ve been inspired by what you’ve heard about FareShare Greater Manchester and you’d like to find out more about us, check out our website: FareShare Greater Manchester on our website, you can also find us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Bluesky & X.
