About

one pot, one bus, one idea.

Giving back should feel like a family visit, not a charity queue.

Evie’s story

It started with jollof.

Evie grew up in a house where the pot was always bigger than the family. Somebody was always coming over to eat.

Years later she cooked for a camp of displaced families with a few friends and a borrowed bus. What stayed with her was not the food; it was the afternoon after it, when everyone sat down and laughed together.

That is what Giving Back with Evie is. We bring food, clothes and essentials, and then we stay. We eat with you, dance with you and learn your name.

Evie’s own photo and words go here.

What we believe

With, never above.

The name says it. We give with people, side by side, and the people we serve are guests of honour, not cases.
