Let's Feed Brum

🎄 Last Saturday, Birmingham Cathedral was filled with friendship, music and 250 of Birmingham's homeless and vulnerable people, who enjoyed a hot Christmas Lunch. Over 70 volunteers came down to catch up with our regulars, welcome people new to LFB and to help the event run smoothly. 14 generous sponsors made it all possible. This is a very special (and hectic!) day in the LFB calendar but it's always worth it. Special thanks to: Birmingham Cathedral (St Philip's) for the venue, The Thomas Franks Foundation for preparing such a delicious meal, The Northfield Acapella Choir for providing music and song, and our amazing crew of volunteers. Enormous thanks to our sponsors: ABN AMRO Bank N.V. BioCare Bond Wolfe Bordeaux Estates Burns & McDonnell Flume Group Freeths James Hewitson Krishan Parmar Kroll Mazars NFP Insurance Solutions Pinsent Masons Solus ✨ Wishing all of our friends, volunteers and sponsors a merry Christmas and a happy, healthy 2025. ✨

Thanks, as always, to The Thomas Franks Foundation for showing up and helping out so wonderfully!

Let’s Feed Brum is 8! 🎂 In 2016, a handful of people set out on the first walkabouts, aiming to make a difference to homeless and vulnerable people around Birmingham. Today, our 100 or so volunteers connect with hundreds of people in need every day. We may have grown in size (and bought a van!) but our objective is the same: to provide essential supplies and friendship, treating everyone we meet with dignity and respect, and signposting people to the services on offer that will help them get back on track. Thanks to everyone who has gotten involved over the years. Whether you’ve joined a walkabout or made a donation, you are helping to make a difference to people’s lives. 🙏

Thank you so much for your support! We couldn't do what we do without our volunteers.

Thanks to the amazing people of Brum coming together last night, the expected riots didn't take place and Breakfast Club is going ahead as usual this morning. We'll continue to monitor the situation closely but today we are feeling so proud of this city. ❤️

🔴 Wednesday night walkabout cancelled 🔴 We have reluctantly decided to cancel our city centre walkabout tonight. It’s not a decision taken lightly but we have to consider the safety of our volunteers, particularly those from the communities being targeted in the horrific, racist riots being organised around the UK right now. We’ll continue to consult with team leaders to decide what to do on a day-to-day basis. It’s our expectation that Thursday Breakfast Club at Pigeon Park should take place as normal tomorrow morning. If you know of anyone in need, ask them to come along to Breakfast Club from 10am-12pm on Thurs or to call our hotline: 0800 001 6847.

Thank you so much for your support #teambeevers! ❤️
