Nourish to Flourish: Building Food Resilience for Preston's Young People
We are proud to partner with Avanti West Coast to deliver Nourish to Flourish: Building Food Resilience for Preston’s Young People, a transformative project designed to improve health, skills, and opportunities for Preston’s young people.
Through this partnership, Avanti will play a vital role in strengthening food resilience while creating meaningful learning opportunities for young people across Preston.
As part of the programme, Avanti will support Vault Youth Zone in delivering:
- 50 subsidised nutritious meals per day, ensuring consistent access to healthy food
- 10 free meals per day, targeting those most in need
- Comprehensive youth-led training kitchen sessions, a total of 312 sessions annually, equating to 1,404 hours of engagement per year
These structured sessions will provide young people with practical cooking skills, nutritional knowledge, and opportunities to build confidence, teamwork, and employability.
The Nourish to Flourish programme is more than a food initiative, it is an innovative way to empower the city’s young people. By combining access to nutritious meals with hands-on education, the project addresses both immediate needs and long-term outcomes.
