WELCOME TO SQUARE FOOD FOUNDATION

We’re a charity that works to reduce hunger, improve health,

and bring people together through food and cooking.

What we do

We've been teaching people to cook for 25 years. We teach people of all ages and abilities how to cook, with the aim of reducing hunger, improving health, and bringing people together. Our students are: primary school children, families accessing food banks, elderly adults at risk of chronic loneliness, people with learning disabilities, people with mental health challenges, young people excluded from mainstream education, and young adults not in education, employment, or training (NEET).

We provide a safe, welcoming teaching environment which enables people to develop vital life skills, to make healthier choices which impact their physical health and to build confidence, social skills, and mental wellbeing.

Alongside our free and subsidised programmes, we offer teambuilding, private hire and event catering. All profits from these schemes go to the charity to fund our food education work in the community.

I love the friendliness, the inclusion, the happy atmosphere, I love the social aspect of it, and I like cooking
