We’re excited to officially announce ‘Brighter Kitchens!’ previously known as Compass Kitchens. This is our fresh new name for all things food-related across Brighter Futures. The new name reflects our commitment to making food more accessible, affordable, and community driven, bringing all our food services together under one clear, friendly identity.

Brighter Kitchens now brings together all your favourite food services in one place:

• Brighter Buffets: Fresh catering for meetings, events, and special occasions.
• Brighter Food: Affordable, ready-to-go food packages.
• Brighter Bites: Pop-up cafes and our brand-new Hillcrest tuck shop.

We are launching three new low-cost food and essentials packages, available for collection at Hillcrest, Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm:

• Sweet Package: A mix of sweet treats and snacks
• Thrive Package: Day-to-day food essentials
• Clean Package: Cleaning basics

We’ve done the hard work to keep costs down, each package has been price checked against supermarket alternatives to ensure great value. To place an order, get in touch with a member of staff either by phone or email.

Our new Tuck Shop is also launching!

Open to staff and customers, it’ll be supplied with snacks, cold drinks, and for those hot days, the freezer will be stocked with ice lollies to keep you going!

Our Tuck Shop will be open Monday-Friday 9am-4pm

Some of you have already had a sneaky taste of our Brighter Buffet…
Well now it’s official, Brighter Buffets are available to order for:

• Team meetings
• Staff training
• Celebrations
• Visits from external guests

The Brighter Buffet has been designed to be tasty, practical, and budget friendly. If you’d like to place an order or just find out more, drop us an email at brighterkitchens@brighter-futures.org.uk.

Brighter Kitchens is made possible thanks to the incredible support of our volunteers. We’re proud of what’s launching and excited to share it with the wider community.

Help us spread the word, whether it’s sharing with your team, popping it on a noticeboard, or simply telling someone who might benefit.
