Company activities and impact

During the financial year, Brightmunity CIC delivered the Balanced Bites project to support individuals and families in the London Borough of Newham who were affected by food insecurity, rising living costs and health inequalities. The project provided grocery baskets containing healthy essential food items to families experiencing financial hardship. This helped reduce monthly food expenses and improved access to nutritious meals for households who were struggling to afford basic necessities. Residents living in hostels on Hoe Street and at Your Place in Canning Town received regular grocery drop offs. These visits ensured vulnerable individuals had access to food and essential household items while also allowing us to build trust and better understand the challenges they were facing. Open community food bank events were delivered at Cundy Park in E16 and later at Britannia Village Community Centre. Using a local venue created a welcoming and accessible environment where residents could receive support with dignity. It also allowed us to engage directly with attendees, listen to feedback and adapt support to meet real needs. For residents who were unable to attend in person, we arranged flexible drop off and collection options. This ensured that those with mobility difficulties, caring responsibilities or other barriers were still able to access support. In addition to food provision, attendees were given healthy recipe ideas, budgeting guidance and money tracking calendars. This supported longer term financial management and encouraged healthier eating habits within households. Community feedback played an important role in shaping the support provided. For example, essential household and hygiene items such as washing up liquid and body wash were added after attendees highlighted their importance. This ensured the project responded directly to lived experience. Alongside food bank activities, Brightmunity CIC carried out street outreach across Newham to support individuals sleeping rough. Blankets and canned food were distributed during the winter period, providing immediate warmth and nourishment to those in urgent need. The project also partnered with Elite Chair Studios, a local barber shop, to provide free haircuts for children returning to school. This reduced financial pressure on families and supported children’s confidence and wellbeing. The project concluded with a Community Christmas Food Bank, where families received larger grocery hampers and children were provided with Christmas gifts. This helped ease additional financial pressures during the festive period and ensured families felt supported at a particularly challenging time of year. Overall, Balanced Bites provided practical and timely support to residents facing hardship while strengthening community relationships and promoting dignity, wellbeing and resilience within the Newham community.

Consultation with stakeholders

Yes, consultation with stakeholders has taken place during the financial year. The company’s stakeholders include local residents and families accessing the food bank, individuals living in hostels, people sleeping rough, community partners, volunteers and funding bodies. These groups are directly affected by the company’s activities and have an interest in how support is delivered. Stakeholders were consulted through direct conversations at food bank events, discussions during grocery drop offs and ongoing communication with hostel staff and venue partners. Attendees were encouraged to share feedback about the type of support provided and any improvements needed. As a result of feedback, the company added essential household and hygiene items such as washing up liquid and body wash to grocery baskets. Food quantities and product choices were also adjusted to better meet the needs of families. Flexible drop off options were strengthened to ensure greater accessibility. The company remains committed to continuing stakeholder engagement to ensure its services reflect community needs.
