Community Cookbook

About the Project

Nourish Hub have partnered with RBKC to create a community cookbook, celebrating the community projects that have contributed to the Notting Dale Future Neighbourhoods 2030 project. If you have participated in one of the projects, we ask you to donate a recipe!

If your donated recipe is chosen, it will be tested by the Chefs at Nourish Hub, professionally photographed and printed in our cookbook!

What is the Notting Dale Future Neighbourhoods 2030 project?

Notting Dale is one of only two neighbourhoods in London that has been selected as part of the Mayor of London’s Future Neighbourhoods (FN) 2030 programme to deliver a range of environmental pioneering projects and initiatives, alongside the development of a community-led environmental strategy.

Eligibility

As this is part of the Notting Dale Future Neighbourhoods 2030, to submit a recipe you need to meet one of the following:

A resident of Notting Dale Ward (w10 and w11 postcodes)

Students at a school in Notting Dale ward (Thomas Jones Primary School, Kensington Aldridge Academy, Saint Francis of Assisi, The Stewart Bilingual school, Avondale Primary School, St Clement and St James CES, Tabernacle School, Norland Place School, SIAL School).

A staff member or volunteer of the Future Neighbourhoods community partners

A service user of the Future Neighbourhoods community partners

A collaboration formed from a shared love of food, connection and community

With healthy accessible food and meaningful interaction at the forefront of Kindred’s ethos, it was only a matter of time before Kindred and Nourish Hub became close partners, working towards reducing social isolation in Hammersmith and Fulham.

Shining a Spotlight on: Sophia

Everyone discovers Nourish Hub for different reasons, but each person that walks through the door brings joy and light into our community. Sophia is one such person. Having met the team at a mental health workshop last year, Sophia felt that Nourish Hub could be a space where she could find support for her own mental health, while learning new skills and feeling that she belonged somewhere important within the community.

Penguin book donations create new connections at Nourish Hub

Following a fantastic morning in October 2023 celebrating National Poetry Day, Nourish Hub’s Book Club was born. Thanks to contact made by Lucy Anderson, Social Impact Manager at Penguin Random House, Nourish Hub were inspired to start their own book club. The initial response from the community was so positive and inspiring that the call from Penguin couldn’t have been more exciting, or timely.
