Hot Meals Project is a student-led scheme working within the local community, preparing and providing free hot, nutritious meals for the people that need them every Saturday. Winner of Volunteering Project of the Year at the Undeb Student Awards 2026!
Hot Meals Project volunteers work in collaboration with members of a different Bangor University club or society each Saturday to cook delicious, hot food and then serve it to people from the local community free of charge. Volunteers have the unique opportunity to chat and connect with both their fellow students and residents of the Bangor area, making it an amazingly fulfilling way to forge relationships across both university and city.
Over the past few years, the project has created a consistent and welcoming space where individuals can access not only nutritious, vegetarian food but also vital social connection, as volunteers naturally build trusting relationships with regular attendees, allowing active support for vulnerable community members.

The Hot Meals Project works in partnership with the local council and with other student projects. By inviting different student societies to help each week, Bangor University students are able to give back to the community they have joined while developing their own skills in food preparation and sharing responsibility within a team that goes beyond their own circle.
Project leads are also responsible for maintaining the 5-star food hygiene rating while operating the kitchen at the Bangor City Council building, ensuring we provide the utmost standards in safety and quality of food provision.
