A key outcome for the Social Kitchen is to alleviate and reduce the impact, of social isolation and loneliness for an increasing number of people in our community. The Social Kitchen will also provide opportunities for adults and young people with learning disabilities to develop skills around cooking and baking, in a model of support and prevention that will be replicated with multiple client groups throughout the City.
Whilst tangible skills will be offered through the Social Kitchen that can improve individual prospects, the wider impact and theme is that of connectedness, and the development of meaningful relationships. Here we have the opportunity to “cook together with a side order of community, connection and conversation!”
