George Clooney’s recent return to Scotland to support Social Bite at the Gleneagles Gala and the British Business Awards wasn’t just a “pinch us” moment, it was a real boost for the movement to end homelessness.
We're thrilled to have received two awards that recognise our long-term collaboration with Mitchells & Butlers, which has grown from a simple pay-it-forward campaign to a UK-wide movement.
We’re still buzzing: World Artist of the Year winner, Sacha Jafri, created and donated a unique Social Bite-specific painting. It’s an incredible gesture, and we’re honoured he chose to back our work in such a meaningful way.
Monday 29th June 2026 saw the original Village by Social Bite officially launched after relocating a mile down the road to the Granton Waterfront. The move serves as a proof-of-concept of the village model, which encourages the use of unused, derelict land as a cost-effective solution to addressing the UK housing crisis.
Social Bite's Counselling Service makes a real difference as an important part of our wider mission to create lasting change through housing and employment support. The service is now available for our charity partners to access too.
Every year, we provide more than 140,000 free food and drink items to people affected by homelessness and poverty across the UK. When people can sit down for a meal in a welcoming environment where they’re treated with dignity, this opens the door to deeper engagement. That’s why, for us, food belongs at the heart of ending homelessness.
