IMG_20250417_171301

Nourish Hub welcomed 72 young people aged 8–12 from local schools into our training kitchen for six days of hands-on learning, discovery, and delicious food at our ‘Fun with Food’ clubs. 

Each day focused on a new cuisine from a different part of the world. Led by chef Oli and chef Tripti, the young people chopped, mixed, kneaded, and tasted their way through six countries and made 12 different recipes, all while engaging with important topics like food waste, sustainability, and healthy eating. 

The feedback speaks volumes about the value of the ‘Fun with Food’ clubs: 

  • 100% of attendees rated the sessions as “Excellent” 
  • 90% said they learned something new about cooking and food waste 
  • 100% would recommend Nourish Hub to a friend 

 

“Making the food, it felt fun because it teaches me how to cook and learn about other cultures.”

“How I can be so independent and have a fun time. Also, I have improved my cooking skills.”

“Cooking food that I have not tried yet and meeting new people.” 
Child C, age 12 

At Nourish Hub, we believe everyone deserves access to good food—and the skills to make it. This programme wouldn’t have been possible without the support from our funder LMP Action, the time and dedication of volunteers. 

We’d love for you to join us at one of our upcoming events and activities! Keep an eye on our website and social media (@thenourishhub) for details on upcoming events. If you have ideas for workshops or want to volunteer, we can’t wait to hear from you!

“The team were amazing. We walked into a beautiful space that had been decorated with care and attention. We were given a very warm welcome and given full information about the menu and we had an absolutely wonderful time.”
Making cooking and good food accessible means creating opportunities for everyone to take part, learn new skills, and enjoy the confidence that comes from preparing food independently. It also means ensuring people can access nutritious meals in ways that meet their individual needs. Food and community spaces should be inclusive, supportive, and designed so everyone can participate and thrive.
Last week, Nourish Hub celebrated its 4th birthday - a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate everything that has been built alongside our community. Bringing together residents, volunteers, partners and supporters, the morning was a joyful reminder that while food brings people through our doors, it is connection, care and community that define what the Hub truly is. Read on to find out who attended, what we all ate and why it was such a magical celebration with friends and colleagues.
