• We are heading into a challenging winter.
• The demand for our services is continuing to increase.
• The need for food doesn't stop, neither do we.
• Please help us continue our essential services.

At Cooking Champions we provide food support every single week.

We are constant in a world that is full of unpredictability and stress.

School holidays are particularly challenging, as the access to hot meals in greatly reduced for many children.

If you need help this winter, you can come to our community kitchen, receive a hot meal in a safe space and if you need additional help you can visit our food bank.

We are facing a lot of uncertainty this winter. If you are able, please support us, even with a small donation.

We will be extremely grateful, and it really will make a difference to someone's life.
