Nourishing People

A cracking time was had by all at Picnic in the Park today.
Well done to our brilliant trainees. We smashed our target for snack sales and made a few new friends!
The smoothie bike run by Aspire was a massive hit. Sophie loved her mixed berry moustache!!
Thanks to our People Matters Head of Operations Katie for a fantastic job setting up and to Aspire CBS for an event Well Done, and a cracking end to Learning Disability Week!
We'll see you next year, for sure.

🎉 We’re popping up at Leeds Kirkgate Market tomorrow with snacks at the ready!

Nourishing People will be at the Being Social event from 11–2, serving treats, causing mischief, and charming the masses.

Swing by, grab a snack, and say hi… we promise to behave. Mostly. 😇

So… my future mother‑in‑law kindly asked me to bring her some Nourishing People Tropical Joy up to Scotland.
And I absolutely did…

…until I got hungry somewhere around the A1 and ate the lot.😬

In my defence, they were staring at me. Judging me. Whispering “go on, just one…”

Sorry Scotland. Sorry future mother‑in‑law.
I’ll send replacements next week 😁

🌶️ Spice & Rice vs Crisps — The Snack Fight Nobody Asked For!
Crisps are basically salty air in a bag.
Our Nourishing People Spice & Rice mix?
Actual food. With actual flavor. Made by actual legends.

Why Spice & Rice wins (easily):
*Healthy fats (almonds > oily potato slices)
*Real spices, not “mystery dust”
*Fills you up, instead of whispering “go get another bag”

Crisps are a snack.
Spice & Rice is a lifestyle choice.

Nourishing people goes far beyond a snack business, it’s about teaching everyday skills that build confidence, independence, and joy. From the smallest tasks to the biggest life lessons, these skills help people feel capable, supported, and seen.

When we teach someone something they can use every day, we’re not just helping them in the moment, we’re giving them tools that nourish them for life. 🌱💛

Big news from Snack Superhero's 💛💙
Our members now have their very own official work badges and honestly, they look so professional we might need to start calling them “Management.”

Badges = confidence.
Confidence = better stalls, better service, and even bigger smiles.

Proud of our crew for levelling up in style.

And don’t worry… we promise we won’t let Jacqui Jackson anywhere near the mic 😄

🎸 Band Night – 25th June! 🎤
Join us at The Gardeners Arms for an evening of live music from JAMJ and Megan. Good vibes, good company, and all for a great cause.
🕡 6:30–9pm

Come dance, connect, and support inclusive communities in Leeds. Let’s make it a brilliant night together!

Massive thank you to West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service for visiting today! 🚒🔥

Our members tried the hose, explored the fire engine, and got top‑tier fire safety advice… so we’re basically honorary firefighters now (unofficially, promise).

And we love the laugh, Jacqui — absolute highlight of the day. ❤️

We're at East SILC - John Jamieson this afternoon spreading the word about People Matters and Nourishing People and the work we do.
Ben and Jack have been telling parents, pupils and teachers about their experience and being great ambassadors for our charity.
