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 transform our profits into mental health support for young people in need.
Travelling the country in our food truck, The Fink Tank, we are raising awareness and showing our customers that no one is alone in dealing with their mental health.
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 wellbeing.
As a social enterprise and member of Social Enterprise UK (SEUK), we commit that over 50% of our profits are used to achieve our social mission.
