Are you looking for an affordable space to cook for your community? Are you an up and coming food start-up needing a kitchen to rent? Do you deliver large-scale catering?
At Healthy Living Platform we make it easier for us all to live more healthy and sustainable lives. Our focus is on connecting communities through food across Lambeth.
We have created the Healthy Living Platform Kitchen to be a welcoming space that is flexible for both cooking workshops and large scale catering.
We have set up the Healthy Living Kitchen in collaboration with Lambeth Accord and with support & investment from Lambeth Council Public Health
The Healthy Living Platform Kitchen will:
- provide a well-equipped, high-quality space where local voluntary, community and faith organisations can prepare cooked meals.
- provide people with the skills and knowledge to prepare meals to help them live healthily and sustainably.
- bring people together from across Lambeth to prepare and cook food for their communities and use food in a sustainable way.
We will do this through:
-
The provision of an accessible and affordable space for local groups to hire and prepare cooked meals [or host events]
-
Delivering educational sessions and training
-
Providing volunteering, training and employment opportunities
-
Minimising food waste and sharing zero waste practices.
-
Generating income by renting out the space for events and catering to start-ups and individuals that support the above aims and the long-term sustainability of the community kitchen.
-
Actively promote the kitchen ensuring there is equitable access to the space
