NEW INITIATIVE LAUNCH: Farm gate to Fork: Bameen Surplus Project
Tackling Food Waste • Feeding Our Communities • Empowering Through Action

This initiative fights food waste at the source while building a sustainable, community-led model of food justice.
Volunteers Needed – Join Us This October

Volunteering through BAMEEN is not just about giving back. It’s about building futures, strengthening communities, and creating real, lasting change.”
With the support of Hull University, we strive to create lasting change by working hand-in-hand with local stakeholders and community leaders.
Hull’s Black community is a vibrant and integral part of our city.
The vibrant mix of cultures, traditions, and perspectives enriches the social fabric of the city, making it a truly unique and dynamic place to live.
We work collaboratively and inclusively to ensure that everyone’s voice is heard and valued.
