Struggles 2 Smiles: Our Mission
Struggles 2 Smiles is a dedicated organisation committed to addressing the issue of food insecurity by empowering young people from disadvantaged communities and the local community our charity is bedded in to. Our core mission is to provide nutritious hot meals delivered to the door of through our pop up street food pantries and to establish sustainable employment opportunities for young people excluded from mainstream education. Through the implementation of community pop-up events and informative cooking from a food bank demonstrations, our overarching goal is to educate and inspire individuals to embrace the preparation of healthy, home-cooked street food meals.
Through the strategic training & employment of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, we not only impart valuable skills to these individuals, but also instill within them a profound sense of purpose and direction. By engaging in hands-on experiences within the culinary arts, these young people gain invaluable practical knowledge that can potentially pave the way for future career prospects. Our comprehensive approach ensures that we address immediate food needs while simultaneously fostering long-term growth and resilience within the community.
