Upcoming BBC documentary…
BBC documentary filmed at Sands Film Studio in Rotherhithe, South London, to be aired in the new year – watch this space for updates!
Over 18 campaigners were filmed over the weekend and Bryan was filmed stating the case for how to help save the NHS billions and save peoples health at the same time.
Marmot Review Update From 2020 – 2022 The Health Foundation commissioned a report called Health Equity in England: Marmot Review 10 Years On explaining how access to affordable fresh nutritious food has a massive affect on outcomes for people’s longterm health.
Bryan Coyle, founder and CEO of East Brighton Food Co-op was a contributor and was honoured to finally meet his hero Sir Michael Marmot on a day of filming in April this year for a BBC documentary to be aired early 2026, about William Beverage’s 1942 plan to build the NHS. Over 18 campaigners were filmed over the weekend and Bryan was filmed stating the case for how to help save the NHS billions and save peoples health at the same time.
HELP SAVE THE NHS and the nations health – EBFC are carrying on the campaign to make Meals on Wheels Statutory. 15% of the Health & Social Care budget goes on treating the consequences of malnutrition in the UK equating to over £22 billion a year. Making Community Meals on Wheels statutory will save the NHS billions by keeping our most vulnerable people healthy and well. Nutritious regular hot meals reduce the need to go to hospital in the first place and facilitate hospital discharge whilst lowering readmission rates. Community Meals on Wheels are an integral part of Preventative Care and After Care.
Bryan staring on the cover of East Brighton Trusts first ever Newsletter and meeting and sharing the campaign for healthy delivered meals on wheels with Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester at the Labour Party Conference, his brother in arms and minds.
EBFC are working tirelessly to make community meals on wheels a statutory service. Our neighbours who are housebound appreciate EBFC’s Community Meals on Wheels and the team who cook and deliver our delicious freshly made nutritious meals. Our meals are packed with 30+ plants and delivered with a good old fashioned catch up. “The 30 different plants a week theory emerged from research carried out as part of the American Gut Project, a crowd-sourced project involving more than 10,000 participants. Its goal is to better understand the gut microbiome in health and disease. “They discovered that participants who ate 30 or more different types of plants per week had gut microbiomes that were the most diverse – and hence health promoting,” says Dr Shireen Kassam, professor, author and founder and director of Plant-Based Health Professionals UK. That’s where the magic number 30 came from – this was the tipping point researchers found which made the most marked difference to participants’ health.” BBC website.
Our team of volunteer champions have cooked and delivered 300,000 + freshly made nutritious community meals on wheels across the City of Brighton & Hove since March 2020 to our most vulnerable and we are still cooking and delivering across the city, now working in partnership with the East Central Brighton Primary Care Network & the Hospital Discharge Teams at Royal Sussex County Hospital, who are prescribing a 2 month referral to the EBFC’s Award winning Community Meals on Wheels Service delivering care and nutritious meals to our most vulnerable neighbours. Prevention is better than cure. Please read our Review here :EBFC’s Community Meals on Wheels Review October 2023 live link is here.
SUPPORT Thank you to the wonderful Enjoolata Foundation and the great article on their website about our work, Nourishing Community, Sustaining Change…and Lulu for her much needed help, volunteering on one of our busy community meals on wheels service days! Enjoolata were one of our first ever funders to step in and help during the pandemic and continue to be a supportive force for us and other community organisations. It was lovely to have Lulu at Baker Street seeing first hand what we do and how we do it. Pictured here with Wonderful Wendy, who regularly helps save the day on her day off from work.

East Brighton Food Co-op started operations in May 2019 to bring healthy food and community cooking to Whitehawk, Bristol Estate and Manor Farm through community events, workshops and cookery classes. We had to cancel these activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020 we sprang into action in support of our community establishing the Emergency Food Hub & kitchens; the first kitchen at the Bristol Estate Community Centre and the second, our home of 2 years, the Robert Lodge Community Kitchen, where the local residents were a huge support; volunteering to cook, clean, keep the stores in order, deliver, and being altogether amazing; then our third base, Kingfisher Court Community Rooms in Whitehawk where, after cooking our citywide meals on wheels for our most vulnerable residents we also put on our hugely popular free Friday barbacue from April through to October for some very welcome outdoor fun and food after the unprecedented Covid 19 lockdown.
We have now taken over the lease on 24 Baker Street, BN1 4JN for our community meals on wheels delivery service kitchen, very exciting steps in our journey…

East Brighton Food Co-op started operations in May 2019 to bring healthy food and community cooking to Whitehawk, Bristol Estate and Manor Farm through community events, workshops and cookery classes. We had to cancel these activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020 we sprang into action in support of our community establishing the Emergency Food Hub & kitchens; the first kitchen at the Bristol Estate Community Centre and the second, our home of 2 years, the Robert Lodge Community Kitchen, where the local residents were a huge support; volunteering to cook, clean, keep the stores in order, deliver, and being altogether amazing; then our third base, Kingfisher Court Community Rooms in Whitehawk where, after cooking our citywide meals on wheels for our most vulnerable residents we also put on our hugely popular free Friday barbacue from April through to October for some very welcome outdoor fun and food after the unprecedented Covid 19 lockdown.
We have now taken over the lease on 24 Baker Street, BN1 4JN for our community meals on wheels delivery service kitchen, very exciting steps in our journey…
To place a meal order please email: coyle.bryan@yahoo.com
If you would like to volunteer for cooking, delivering, admin or anything else please contact: janet@eastbrightonfoodcoop.uk
