Food and Friendship
Pending display name
We would like to run friendly cook and eat sessions for people to learn budget cooking skills. Focussing on basic skills, quick storecupboard meals, and healthy fast food, ending in a sociable meal.
About this cause
We're a local charity mostly run by volunteers who aim to bring isolated people together through food. We tackle loneliness and create communities with friendly, low-cost lunch clubs. We hire buses to collect people with reduced mobility who cannot access public transport and use FareShare food that would otherwise go to landfill to create nutritious, low-cost meals.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Many people are on low incomes and worried about the rising cost of living. We can help by teaching cooking and budgeting skills so they can cook a healthy meal for themselves and their family. Whether they are an adult with learning disabilities, a family, a student, a refugee, a person with mental health issues, all will be welcome in this inclusive community project.
