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 for bringing generations together through meaningful, shared experiences. We aim to build a strong, self-sustaining community of young and older people who connect through cooking, conversation and companionship — creating lasting relationships and tackling loneliness, one shared bowl at a time.
The battle against loneliness
Loneliness among the elderly is a large and growing problem. In the UK over 1.4 million older people experience chronic loneliness.
Jolly cooking days
Grandma’s Soup effectively combats loneliness by frequently organizing jolly cooking days, during which young and old people make soup (or hotpot) together. The cooking days are organized at multiple locations in the Netherlands. Read more about the cooking days here.

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.
