Zesti Foundation is a regenerative community organisation rooted in the belief that communities thrive when care, connection, and nature are woven back into everyday life. We work at the intersection of sustainable living, food security, and mental wellbeing — translating shared values into practical, culturally relevant action that people can actually take part in.

Our work grows from three simple commitments

We build agency through participation.

From growing food to caring for shared spaces, we create opportunities for people to take part, contribute, and rebuild confidence through doing — not being told what to do.

We support communities facing the sharp edges of deprivation.

Through community food initiatives, shared resources, and hands‑on activities, we help make nutritious, sustainable living more accessible — not as charity, but as dignity.

We nurture wellbeing through connection.

Gardening, green social prescribing, time outdoors, shared meals, and simple moments of calm — we create spaces that reconnect people with nature, with each other, and with themselves.

What the Foundation does

Zesti Foundation exists to strengthen the human conditions that make change possible. We work at the level of community, culture, and everyday experience — supporting belonging, safety, shared identity, and collective capability.

In practice, this means creating and caring for shared spaces where people can slow down, connect, and contribute. Our work includes school visits to the Allen Park Allotments, open spaces where members can potter, rest, and spend time outdoors, seed swaps and growing sessions, community composting, and shared food initiatives such as a community larder. These small, practical actions help people feel better together, recover energy, and rebuild confidence through participation rather than pressure.

Our work is preventative, relational, and regenerative — designed to compound benefits over time, strengthening community capacity rather than delivering short‑term fixes.

Zesti Foundation is where regenerative ideas become lived practice.

Where wellbeing is collective.
Where care is shared.
Where the path forward is shaped by the people walking it.
