Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams has teamed up with Isle of Wight business Teemill on a new food inequality project.

Maisie, 25, shot to stardom at the age of 14 in the worldwide hit series as the tiny warrior Arya Stark.

She was announced this month as the new ambassador of the Mazi Project, a Bristol-based CIC that empowers marginalised 16 to 25 year olds by providing meal kits, cooking workshops and jobs in the city’s food scene. 

To celebrate her appointment, and raise vital funds for the charity, Maisie and The Mazi Project teamed up with Freshwater-based Teemill to create a range of merchandise inspired by some of Maisie’s favourite movie food references.

Announcing the new designs on Instagram, Maisie said, "As a kid, I would stop and rewind the movie to rewatch the characters eat delicious food over and over again, dreaming of the day you would be able to taste all these interesting and exotic snacks, then look no further… I designed the perfect T-shirt for you.”

In line with Teemill's ethos, every product is made in factories using renewable energy, and is designed to be sent back when worn out to be turned into new clothes.

Maisie said her work with the project had inspired her to open up about her own experiences of food insecurity.

She said: “Food holds so much power.  I’ve been there. I’ve felt this. I understand the impact it has on your self-worth.”

“The impact that a little nurture, time and care can have on young people is genuinely life changing.

"That’s what The MAZI Project is providing for the young people they help and that’s why I wanted to get involved.” 

The Film Food designs feature references to the 1999 comedy Big Daddy, the 1996 adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Matilda, Christmas classic Home Alone (1990), and the 1994 hitman drama Léon: The Professional.

The collection includes front and back print tees and tote bags and is available from themaziprojectstore.com
