•    Grosvenor Hart Homes, the social enterprise and registered provider of social housing, is providing 1,000 free recipe boxes – equating to several thousand meals – to qualifying tenants over the next year. 

•    The initiative will benefit children, young people and their families living in its homes in Cheshire. 

•    The scheme will provide the tenants with easier access to healthy food choices and all the benefits it brings to wellbeing. 

Grosvenor Hart Homes, the social enterprise and registered provider of social housing, is providing 1,000 free recipe boxes to qualifying tenants over the next year, improving outcomes for children, young people and their families. 

Initiated by the Duke of Westminster, Grosvenor Hart Homes pairs high-quality affordable housing and, for those who require it, tailored support services addressing wellbeing and improving education and employment, measuring its success not only by the number of homes created but by improvements in the outcomes of its tenants.

The initiative is funded by a partner organisation and the recipe boxes are being provided by Gousto, a portfolio company of Grosvenor Food & AgTech – an active investor in companies reshaping food and agriculture around the world for the better. The collaboration will provide qualifying Grosvenor Hart Homes’ tenants in Chester and Ellesmere Port with recipe boxes each week, enabling greater access to healthy food choices as well as providing convenient, inspiring and easy to cook recipes that result in less waste.  

It is hoped the initiative will help the tenants to create nutritious meals and all the benefits it brings, including learning new skills, instilling healthier habits and bringing people together. 

Grosvenor Hart Homes recently acquired 40 new homes in Ellesmere Port, building on 29 that were refurbished in Chester, providing children, young people and their families with the home environment and stability they need. Over the next 10 years, it plans to provide more than 750 homes alongside tailored support for those who require it, in west Cheshire and the north-west of England as well as central London. 

Eating healthy and nutritious foods provides everyone with a strong foundation to improve their wellbeing as well as other aspects of our lives, including concentration, boosting performance and building a good routine. This initiative is another way, alongside high-quality, secure homes and tailored support services, that we are working to benefit the lives of children, young people, and their families.
