Social Source empowers and upskills vulnerable people to grow and cook good food, changing lives one jar at a time. 

Social Source is a new collaboration between Wiggly and Project Grow CIC, born out of our Grow with Wiggly project. At the start of 2024, our organisations teamed up to grow vegetables at the Gloucestershire Heritage Hub community gardens to use in Wiggly cookery courses. As our project flourished, we realised its potential to deliver even more social impact, by creating a range of fresh sauces for sale, with all profits feeding into Project Grow CIC and Wiggly Charity. Our products are grown and harvested in Gloucester by volunteers and handmade into small batches of seasonal deliciousness by our Wiggly Chef in Gloucester. Our vision is to grow Social Source to support our growing projects and cookery classes so that we can empower and upskill vulnerable people of all ages and abilities and offer employability opportunities in our kitchens and the garden.

Our Products

Our first two products are a Mulberry Dessert Sauce, made with fruit harvested from the Bishop of Gloucester’s garden, and a Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce. Both are available via our Crowdfunder, which we have set up to support development of a sustainable income stream.
