Vision
We are building a national movement where generations connect through soup and shared moments. Our vision is for Grandma’s Soup communities to thrive across the UK, led locally by student teams who bring the energy and continuity needed to keep the movement growing.
By 2030, we want Grandma’s Soup to be recognised nationwide — known for our warm, meaningful activities and for the delicious soups that help fund our mission. We are committed to creating a self-sustaining movement that fights loneliness, one bowl of soup at a time.

Fresh soups made with leftover vegetables
To reduce food waste, Grandma’s Soup picks up leftover vegetables and herbs at supermarkets and green grocers every week, and uses these fresh products during the cooking days. Therefore, it’s always a surprise for the elderly and volunteers which soup they will make. Explore the delicious products our grandmas and grandpas make with these leftover vegetables.
