“This cooking scheme has saved my life. After a really difficult point when I’d lost everything, it gives me a point of security, meaning and friendship…somewhere to go and get my sense of self-worth together. It means the world”

As a registered charity, we receive no statutory funding for our work and rely on donations, gifts and grants.

With your support, we can continue to provide free food education and improve people’s physical and mental health. By equipping people with the life skills, knowledge and confidence to cook, we can improve healthy eating, reduce hunger and bring people together.

You can donate a one-off amount or become a monthly donor.

Regular monthly donations provide us with reliable income which helps us to plan ahead and fund projects long-term. It is a simple direct debit, you can choose any amount (from £2), and you can change or cancel at any time.

Any amount that you can give will make a big difference to our work. Thank you

Square food foundation was a pivotal experience for me, the course gave me a solid foundation for my personal cooking skills and I was able to build self confidence and work in industry.
