The MAZI Project empowers Bristol’s disadvantaged young people through an aMAZIng meal box scheme which helps to support and change lives.

Charlie and Kieran spent the day finding out about some of the inspirations and feelings behind the project as well as giving a helping hand with the boxes on volunteer day.

Charlie & Kieran have been on their travels again, this time travelling to the heart of Bristol to meet up with long-term Real Olive friend and well-known chef, entrepreneur and community food champion, Josh Eggleton. 

Josh shares insights into his projects past and present, as well as talking passionately about food issues within communities and how you can help support yours.  Be warned, this podcast contains explicit language but anyone who knows Josh will know that it wouldn’t be a true reflection of his character if he didn’t drop in the odd explicative!
