Bosses at a food poverty charity say they are struggling to keep up with demand as they launch their largest-ever fundraising campaign.
Bristol's MAZI Project is aiming to raise £35,000 to support young people's mental health through healthy food. Since launching in 2021, it has delivered more than 120,000 meals.
Student Mary Gurdin said the charity, which provides meal kit service with fresh ingredients and a cook book, helped her navigate an eating disorder.
She said: "Before the MAZI project, I wouldn't buy food as I got very anxious going to shops. Now I'm cooking a meal every evening and I've cooked things I'd never considered eating."
