Feeding The Hundreds
Food has a special way of bringing people together, and at the Trinity Centre in Fishermead, it is also becoming a vital lifeline. This summer, through ForMK, our Community Initiative, Venture Church was able to contribute £700 towards food costs for Making Good Better (MGB), a local initiative led by Maria Affa. Through her faithful service, Maria provides low-cost breakfasts and lunches for those in our community who need them most.
The impact of this work is clear. Over the past year, Maria has witnessed demand for meals double, with around 100 people now attending her sessions each week. These gatherings are about far more than food — they are places where people find warmth, welcome, and a sense of belonging in the heart of our city.
Maria’s commitment to feeding her community is both inspiring and humbling. Week after week, she creates a safe and supportive environment where no one is turned away. For many who come through the doors, it is not just about a meal, but about being reminded that they are valued and cared for.
Thanks to the generosity of our Church Family, forMK is able to stand alongside Maria and the work of Making Good Better. Together, we are helping to meet a growing need while also investing in the deeper truth that everyone deserves dignity, compassion, and a place at the table.
