Kids Kitchen Collective CIC - Herefordshire
Mental wellbeing
We plan to put on regular family cooking sessions in Hereford and in Leominster. We’ll deliver recipe bags with the food bank, pop up events and “online playgroups”.
About this cause
We prepare, cook and eat healthy meals together with other parents, carers and kids aged 0-5. Our groups and activities create a sense of community and reduce isolation. The extended activity of preparing food with kids then sitting down to eat together facilitates gentle chat and helps anxious parents to relax and make friends. Our collaborative approach builds ownership for participants over time.
How this cause brings people in the community together
This project will bring local families together to cook and eat. Families from different backgrounds relax and chat together while preparing food, bringing a sense of solidarity and community. Parents and kids learn new skills, try new food, make friends. The pop ups, online "playgroups" and recipe bags provide food and fun at home, and connect families to our wider community of support.
