ISORROPIA
Yesterday we provided a light lunch for Isorropia, a truly fantastic wellbeing organisation based at Medina Valley Centre in Newport. Our main production kitchens are based there, and we are committed to providing a wellness café with Isorropia in the very near future. The purpose of yesterday was for Isorropia to present their ambitious plans to potential funders to turn the existing Medina Valley site into a mental health centre of excellence for the Isle of Wight. As part of the day I gave a quick talk about The Big Eat Co. which I’m sharing with you below. To work with an organisation with such shared values and ethics means the world to us!
And please do visit www.isorropia.uk and check out all the amazing work they do on the Isle of Wight.
The Big Eat Co. isn't just another catering company; it's a testament to our collective belief in doing good while enjoying good food. We cater for individuals, weddings, functions, corporate events and more.
From the moment I met Charlie and Vicki, the brilliant minds behind Isorropia, I knew that our paths were destined to intertwine. Their passion behind all the amazing things Isorropia do to change people’s lives, and their commitment to wellness resonated deeply with me. I immediately recognised the potential for a relationship that could make a real difference.
At the heart of The Big Eat Co. lies a commitment to wellness, not just in the food we serve but also in the way we operate. We believe in nourishing both body and soul, and that's why we're not just focusing on what goes on the plate but also on the people behind it. One of the most inspiring aspects of The Big Eat is its dedication to employing individuals with mental health backgrounds, offering them not just a job but a chance to regain their footing and confidence in the workplace. Through training and support, we're providing a meaningful step forward for those who often face barriers to employment. Working in partnership with Isorropia allows us to do this and give something back to the wonderful Isle of Wight community.
But our commitment to wellness doesn't stop there. Partnering with Isorropia has opened up a world of possibilities for us. The vision of a wellness café at Isorropia, utilizing Island produce and promoting good nutrition in every bite, perfectly aligns with our ethos. Food isn't just sustenance; it's a celebration of culture, community, and connection. And through our collaboration with Isorropia, we're not only creating delicious meals but also fostering a sense of belonging and well-being.
Central to our partnership with Isorropia is the shared commitment to sustainability. Future plans include growing our own produce in Isorropia's allotment, meaning we will not only be reducing our carbon footprint but also ensuring that every ingredient that graces our plates is fresh, local, and responsibly sourced. Composting our biodegradable containers we bring back from every event and using this on the allotment completes the cycle.
Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us—it's a way of life, and through our collaboration with Isorropia, we're turning that vision into a delicious reality.
In essence, The Big Eat Co. isn't just about food; it's about making a difference. It's about creating a world where sustainability, ethics, and wellness aren't just ideals but guiding principles that shape everything we do. Working together with Isorropia isn't just important—it's essential. Together, we're not just catering, we're nourishing hearts, minds, and communities.
