'No one should go hungry' - Number of Bristol young people relying on handouts soars

The number of Bristol's young people who rely on handouts has soared over the past year by 30 per cent and now a charity is crowdfunding for more money.

Bosses at MAZI Project aim to combat food inequality among disadvantaged young people. But due to surging demands they have now launched a crowdfunder to colect £30,000 to raise the funds for a new van.

But what exactly are young people who use MAZI getting? Each week those supported by the project get to choose up to three recipes from the array organisers offer. All boxes are made up from locally sourced and fresh ingredients, all measured out to exactly what the recipe requires and each individual is given a recipe book, variety of spices and a refillable oil bottle.
