OUR STORY

Our journey’s started with teaching children the joy of cooking – it’s proven that the earlier you introduce a variety of foods and get kid’s cooking the more likely they are to adopt a varied and healthy diet. We quickly learnt that many parents and carers also needed help with home cooking and our family cooking classes were conceived. Having taught in Edmonton we learnt that marginalised communities have the lowest life expectancy, suffer the most with physical and mental disabilities and are  least likely to access life-enhancing enriching classes. We therefore created our Community Cooking Together classes to help combat societal issues of food poverty, cost of living crisis, loneliness and inclusivity.

We aim to empower everyone that attend our classes, so we encourage attendees to input their ideas and help shape classes. For those willing and able, this can mean volunteering with us too. We actively promote upskilling opportunities. Nearly all our staff are people that have volunteered with us or have attended our classes and have sought work experience.
