Fat Macy's

Fat Macy's Life changing dining. Our 200-hour programme allows trainees to gain work experience, new skills and a deposit for a flat by the end of the programme.

Fat Macy's is a social enterprise that uses our food and hospitality businesses to give Londoners living in hostels a pathway to move into their own homes. To date we've raised £35k in housing deposits among 33 trainees. Find out more at fatmacys.org

129,000 young people approached their councils as homeless last year. That’s 353 people a day, or one person every 4 minutes.

The true extent of youth homeless could be double that number, and with the cost-of-living crisis, it’s getting worse.

Young people often aren’t considered a priority or taken seriously by authorities and services, and face additional barriers to accessing secure rental accommodation. In short, they are failed by the systems that are supposed to help them.

Fat Macy’s has joined 100 other charities and frontline services to call for the government to commit to a strategy to tackle youth homelessness now.

It’s not just about hospitality at FM. Whilst we offer hospitality training and work experience to all our trainees in our restaurant Sohaila, we also support trainees throughout the programme to explore other work opportunities and help them make the first step toward the career they want.

We’ve been working with our new partner to offer our trainees support with CV writing, LinkedIn Profiles, job applications and network building. Chris (we love you!), from LTR was recently on set to get Amika the perfect headshot and intro video for her CV. All these opportunities are important steps in a person’s journey from hostel to home.

“Looking to the future, it’s all about using the momentum we’ve built to get more trainees through the door and into permanent housing.

Probably my proudest moment was visiting our first trainee who had saved a housing deposit during the scheme in his new flat.
Seeing everything come together and realising that we’ve managed to get someone into a home – those moments are great.”

We've been on a long journey since we started in 2016 as a pop-up supper club to becoming a catering company and then finding a home in Shoreditch in 2022. If you want to recapture the magic of those early days supper clubs - head over to where our trainees are provided opportunities to gain valuable work experience, and our chefs are making the best food in East London (we promise we're not biased 👀)

Let us know if you have any sort of collaboration in mind. We love working with people to explore ways to share Fat Macy's story and provide opportunities for our trainees and team.
