Your Experience
If you’re looking for a new and exciting experience for your next corporate day that also supports the community and the environment, then Cook for Good is for you!
Your organisation will become part of the growing number of environmentally and socially conscious corporations supporting our community to ensure that delicious healthy food is available to everyone. We offer team-building activities in which you and your team can work alongside our in-house chefs and nutritionists in our community kitchen; preparing and creating a delicious bespoke menu, while supporting your community.
We recently welcomed The Grange whose team cooked, laughed and ate with us, sharing that "It’s been an eye opener of a day. Very enjoyable and I’d encourage anybody to go out and find their local food hubs and help. Get out there, volunteer!”
Team Building
Cooking together is a fantastic way of getting to know and strengthen the bond between colleagues while preparing meals to feed the most vulnerable people in our community. This is an unforgettable corporate team building experience, with an immediate and tangible social impact that will be the topic of conversation for a long time. Most find it hard to believe that:
- Food waste in the UK is estimated to cost £17 billion each year equal to 10 million tons of food
- 8.4 million UK families are struggling to put food on the table, the equivalent of the whole population of London. As many as half of these families regularly go a whole day without food.
- 10% of children in the UK are reported by UNICEF to be living in households affected by severe food insecurity (6,657,300).
