Mahirs Foundation CIC · Born in 2014. Founded in 2025.

Food brings people together.
Opportunity changes lives.

Creating opportunities through food, people and purpose.

We believe in the power of food to connect communities, create opportunities and make a lasting difference.

Through cooking, hospitality, education, training and community partnerships, Mahirs Foundation supports local and national causes, bringing people together from all walks of life.

Our story

A legacy of giving.
A future of opportunity.

Our story began in 2014, when Mahirs Experience made a commitment to supporting charities, community organisations and those making a difference in the lives of others.

What started as a simple desire to give something back grew into more than a decade of community involvement. From providing meals and supporting fundraising events to donating time, resources, facilities and expertise, Mahirs has helped organisations turn their ambitions into meaningful action.

Over the years, we recognised that our greatest contribution was not simply what we could give, but what we could make possible.

On 23 October 2025, Mahirs Foundation CIC was officially established.

The Foundation was created to build on that legacy, providing a dedicated, transparent and accountable organisation through which we could develop new programmes, strengthen partnerships and create lasting opportunities.

Today, we work closely with Mahirs Experience, an established catering and hospitality business founded in 2005, drawing on its experience, professional facilities, skilled people and operational resources to support our community activities.

Although our roots are in hospitality, our ambitions reach far beyond the kitchen.

From helping young people develop skills and confidence to supporting vulnerable communities, promoting healthier eating and bringing people together, we believe everyone deserves an opportunity to thrive.

Our journey began with giving. Our future is about creating opportunity.

“Success should create opportunity, not just profit.”

Voices

In their words

Where we came from

Born in 2014. Founded in 2025.

Long before we became a CIC, giving back was part of everyday life at Mahirs. Since 2014, Mahirs Experience has adopted good causes chosen and voted for by our own team, donating food and gifts and raising thousands of pounds for local and lesser known charities. This is where the Foundation began.

Get involved

Together, we can achieve more.

Whether you represent a charity, community organisation, educational institution or business, we would love to explore how we can work together.

We welcome conversations about community programmes, education and training, food initiatives, volunteering, funding, sponsorship and collaborative projects.

Because making a difference starts with people coming together.
