Bristol's Mazi Project launches biggest-ever fundraiser for World Hunger Day
Posted on: 08 May 2025In the lead-up to World Hunger Day on 28th May 2025, The MAZI Project in Bristol has launched its most ambitious crowdfunding campaign to date. The local charity is aiming to raise £35,000 throughout May to support marginalised 16–25-year-olds facing food insecurity across the city.
Through this fundraiser, MAZI hopes to provide vital skills, confidence, and weekly access to nutritious food to disadvantaged youth - many of whom are care leavers, young asylum seekers, or recovering from homelessness. The goal: £25,000 from the crowd funder and a further £10,000 from in-person fundraising efforts.
