Established in 2017, Well-Fed has expanded and grown from a community café to a home delivery service and commercial catering facility in Glasgow.
Well-Fed helps people in the local community who are at risk of food insecurity and facing social isolation.
In 2020, Well-Fed’s Managing Director Chris Gray was one of 20 social enterprise leaders to attend and complete our Ambitions for Recovery programme. This programme offered support, mentoring, and coaching to help navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as looking towards recovery. Well-Fed also benefitted from £25,000 of Third Sector Resilience Funds, managed by SIS, and backed by the Scottish Government.
‘Ambitions for Recovery gave me the confidence to enter contract negotiations and procurement discussions with Glasgow City Council, and we now provide catering services for hotels in the city that have been providing accommodation for homeless people during the pandemic. By providing 700 meals per day as part of this contracted work, we have been able to provide as many as 500 extra meals per day for people in the local community.’
