OUR MISSION
Mental health affects us all.
We are a social enterprise street food and events and caterer who are on a mission to break down mental health stigma, one bite at a time.
Through epic food experiences, our mission is to blow the mental health conversation wide open and encourage our customers to be more conscious of their own mental wellbeing.
By providing information, supporting services and raising awareness we are promoting positive mental health attitudes and encouraging people to make positive steps to improve their own mental health.
As a social enterprise and member of Social Enterprise UK, we commit that over 50% of our profits are used to achieve our social mission.

Our key charity partner, No5 Young People, are a reading based charity who provide life changing counselling and mental health services to Reading's young people.
They share our vision for a world that does not stigmatise young people's mental health and accepts it is a normal part of human development.
They are supporting a better mental health future for young people through tailored counselling, workshops and group therapy sessions.
We support them with a weekly donation of our profits - something that has been made possible by all our amazing customers who choose Fink for lunch.
We'll also be delivering exciting cooking skills and nutrition workshops, designed to boost self-esteem and help young people better understand the links between physical and mental wellbeing.
