While we admire and support the Christmas campaigns that we see pop up in December, we also know that help is urgently needed all year round, each and every year. As some people pack away after the festive break, we are still here.
Our support is not limited to a food package, but it leaps beyond - we form connections, we listen and respond to everyone who steps through our doors. We open up a warm, safe, environment which aims to feel like a home away from home.
For us to continue to thrive and grow, and keep supporting as many people as possible, we are asking you to become a Friend of Cooking Champions. Even a donation of just £5-10 per month can make a HUGE impact on the lives of those who come through our doors.
Pop to our People's Fundraising page to donate, and we promise to keep you updated with how your support is making a difference. Thank you, we appreciate you! Team Cooking Champions

A residents’ group which helps preserve the character of Palmers Green’s Edwardian heritage is seeking new members.
If Palmers Green is a “Jewel in the North”, one of the main reasons is its beautiful Edwardian housing stock, and the area with the richest collection of such houses is the Lakes Estate, which experts have rightly referred to as “the quintessence of middle-class Edwardian suburbia". In 2010 it received official recognition with the setting up of the.......
