“We need to get something started quickly to help people get through the winter,” said Kay Johnson, The Larder’s founder, and director.
We are seeking funding for a new project to address the cost-of-living crisis. “The Creative Community Kitchen initiative is based on the National Kitchen model from World War One and will provide cooking classes and communal eating in a warm, safe space,” said Kay. “The programme will be delivered over 6 months from the Larder café kitchen where our experienced Food Champions will offer cook and eat sessions to people from marginalised communities in Preston.
If you or your business would like to support our Creative Community Kitchen Initiative please email ruby@larder.org.uk Read more…..
