Why we are Serving...

Trans healthcare in the UK is functionally non-existent. 

Serving hopes to:

1️⃣ Contribute directly towards gender-affirming care
We hope the funds we raise can help with the increased financial strain imposed on many trans people

2️⃣ Provide a morale boost along the fundraising journey
We know that many people are trying to raise much more than we can provide.
We hope that our contribution can help keep them motivated as they invest the time and energy into hitting their funding goals

3️⃣ Bring the discussion around trans healthcare to the dinner table
We believe in the power of community and food as way to bring people together.
We hope that our supper clubs serve as a way to bring attention to conversations surrounding trans healthcare

How to Support Serving

The Serving Team

Jardine

Robbie (he/him)
Founder & Chef

Robbie started Serving a few years ago as a way to show up for the trans people in his community An enthusiastic-amateur turned almost-professional, he learnt everything from blogs, books, and YouTube. He loves tacos and his current fixation is ice cream.

Mel (they/them)
Chef

Mel is a chef working in community food justice across Bristol. They can occasionally be found serving Chinese comfort food with their street food company Mei Mei's street cart, or attempting to grow stubborn Southeast Asian brassicas with their queer, multicultural growing group: Chinese Cabbage Club. They believe nutritious, tasty, affordable food should be accessible to all, and dream of opening a surplus community cafe

Jardine (they/she)
Marketing

Jardine isn’t a chef, but they can cook the same four comfort meals on repeat. They have been working in marketing for social-focused communities on and off for nearly a decade, and are a strong believer in Serving’s mission, which brings two of their greatest passions together - advocating for trans rights and eating food much better than they can cook.
