Every week, Barny and the Square Food team head to One25, a charity in St Paul's, Bristol that reaches out to women in sex work and drug addiction. We've worked with the women there for over two years, helping build trust, self-esteem and confidence, teaching skills and recipes and importantly, providing a nourishing and delicious meal.

For more information about this course, get in touch.
