Feel Fuller

Join other restaurants supporting local people experiencing homelessness


Get Involved

What is it?

Feel Fuller is a simple way for restaurants to help tackle homelessness through the everyday act of eating out.

Participating venues add an optional £1 contribution to customers’ bills, with all funds going towards Justlife’s work supporting people experiencing homelessness and living in temporary accommodation.

It’s an easy, low-cost way for restaurants and diners to come together to create meaningful local change, turning meals out into moments of generosity and community action.

For restaurants, it’s simple to implement and easy for customers to support. For people facing homelessness, those small contributions can help fund practical support and hope.

Together, we can make experiences of temporary accommodation short, safe and healthy.

Why is this needed?

Across the UK, thousands of people, including children, are currently living in temporary accommodation.

Right now, around 134,210 households are living in temporary accommodation, including 176,130 children. Behind these figures are real people: families living in single rooms, parents unable to cook proper meals for their children, and individuals stuck in unsafe or unsuitable conditions for months or even years.

Temporary accommodation is meant to be short-term, but for many people it becomes a long and exhausting reality. The impact reaches far beyond housing, affecting mental health, physical wellbeing, relationships, education, employment and a person’s sense of dignity and belonging.

At the same time, restaurants and hospitality venues play an important role in bringing people together. They are places of warmth, connection and community, and they have the power to make a meaningful difference.

Feel Fuller is a simple way for restaurants and diners to stand alongside people experiencing homelessness and help fund practical support, connection and hope.

Customers increasingly want to support businesses that care about their communities. By joining Feel Fuller, restaurants can show that hospitality is about more than great food. It is about making sure nobody is left behind.

Because homelessness is not someone else’s problem. It affects communities everywhere. And tackling it takes all of us.
