Community Kitchen

Read about our Community Kitchen on Grimsby Docks and the factors that are influencing our new workspace.

Community kitchens are popping up all around the country and they are truly spaces that can make the world a better place, create friendships and make our neighbourhood feel more connected.

Bringing people together from different backgrounds can break stigma and break down preconceptions that some people don’t always realise they have – all through the power of cooking together.

The Community Kitchen is about bringing people together in friendship and community. We aim to help feed people from our communities, at a time when meals are being skipped due to a lack of funds and wherever possible, helping with skills and swopping recipes. We do this by holding volunteer-led classes for people who want to learn how to cook with any ingredient, often on a shoestring.

The Community Kitchen is all about two things:

inviting people to come and cook a meal – and so learn about sustainable cooking on a budget and from scratch.

Joining us to share a healthy meal where all generations and parts of the community eat together and get to know each other. Community kitchens are not only for those in dire need and should be and are for everyone regardless of if you can afford a meal or not.

Everyone is very welcome – especially if

• you want to learn about cooking cost effectively
• you appreciate the company of fellow communities.

All we ask is that diners make a donation for the cost of the food – it is done anonymously and on a what you can afford basis.
