Cook For Good
Participants will be led by our Chef in our training kitchen as they chop, slice, dice, stir and whisk their way through this hands-on experience preparing ingredients, dishes or desserts for delivery by the UKHarvest team to those in need. Participants across 4 hours will learn about food waste, food rescue and pick up some handy tips and tricks from our chef. Participants will have the opportunity to sample some of the food they have produced and leave with memories of a great time in the company of colleagues and a feeling of satisfaction knowing they have helped those in need in their local community.
Surplus Surprise
Participants will take part in a team challenge, presented with ingredients rescued by UKHarvest the challenge will be to create a healthy nutritious meal. A chance for all to cook with colleagues and design and develop a dish to top the menu. A combination of Ready, Steady, Cook and Masterchef styles makes this day full of challenges, fun and friendly competition, whilst developing knowledge around how to reduce household food waste and some of the ways to make zero waste meals.
A Day In The Life
Join us for the day as we rescue food, portion product, prepare meals and then help us support the community through a Community Food Hub. This immersive experience allows all participants to see how UKHarvest support those most in need whilst assisting and educating our community to reduce food waste and promote a healthy nutritious diet for all. This experience allows all participating to see the positive effects of what UKHarvest do within the community.
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).
