Shoreditch Trust is proud to mark 25 years of work rooted in the belief that food brings people together and strengthens communities. From the very beginning, our work has focused on the simple idea that sharing good food can build connections, improve health, and support wellbeing.

At the heart of this commitment are our Community Table lunches, Community Settings. We serve nourishing, healthy vegetarian meals that are free and open to everyone in the community offering a welcoming space to enjoy good food. Beyond a delicious meal, guests can access support from our staff and volunteers, find helpful information about local services, and connect with others in their community.

We believe good food should be available to everyone, without barriers. Join us as we continue to champion the role of food in building healthier, happier communities.
