Today the London Housing Panel, Deputy Mayor for housing Tom Copley and the London Housing Directors Group - made up of senior officers from every borough in the city - have written to Michael Gove, demanding the government end London's worsening homelessness crisis. 🧵

A little throwback to @nigelslater saying nice things about our food and mission.

If you want to try said catering, head to the link in our bio 😊

Perry, Shafik, Marlon, Annie and Sally are the first superhumans to join the FM Foundation Advisory Board. Having all been through the programme, they're in the best place to make sure Fat Macy's is as supportive, holistic and life-changing as possible.

If you're looking to celebrate with a bit of fizz but don't want to break the bank, we recommend Cava Brut Nature, Pago de Tharsys NV, available to buy at our online wine store.

💫 Good News Friday: 💫 We recently helped Nadine move into a beautiful new home that fits their culture and their needs. ⁠
⁠
*THIS* is what it's all about.⁠
⁠
Congratulations Nadine - you more than deserve it and we're so excited for you! 🏘️🪴

We've had an influx of new catering enquiries over the last couple of days so we're hiring front-of-house staff to help make it all happen.

If you know anyone, drop us a DM or pop them in touch.

Thanks to the wonderful Jay Rayner for his kind words about Sohaila - and for mentioning Salt Bae and Rod Hull's emu in the same piece 😂

“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.”

Meg Doherty, CoFounder

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.

#TBT to when we collaborated with Fabrix to bring fresh fruit and veg boxes to the incredible NHS staff on the frontline of the pandemic.

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./

Many of our trainees live in temporary accommodation where they can be paying up from £2000 a month in rent. This rent is usually covered by housing benefits, but things get complicated when you enter employment. We help people make the transition to a place they can call home.

Meet Eliza, our Outreach and Communications Assistant

Eliza joined the team a few months ago and has helped us so much, from organising events to setting up collaborations and meetings, to supporting the Marketing team with content creation. A true asset!

Meg and Nathalie appeared in the The Stylist a few months back to chat about the birth of Fat Macy's and how we landed on our own restaurant in Shoreditch.

Our trainees are at the heart of everything we do. Fat Macy’s exists to get Londoners out of hostels and into their own homes. We're so proud of the work we have done so far, with so much more to come.

Name a better duo than good food and a great mission...

We'll wait.

Jason, our FM Outreach Officer, leaves us today. It's sad for all of us, and also exciting for him as he takes on a new role in youth work and continues his work with Pivot.

Thanks so much to Jason and everything he's done over his time with us. Best of luck!

Walk ins are always welcome at Sohaila.
