Our Partners

Since Kids Kitchen began in 2011 we are lucky to have worked with some amazing partner organisations and funders. We are a small dedicated team and a network of freelancers without a central office, so we are able to be extremely flexible and highly financially efficient. This means we have unique relationships with the organisations we deliver alongside or on behalf of and grant funders get a great deal from working with us, often with the expertise of more than one organisation on each project. We are so grateful to all our funders who have recognised this and the impact of the work we do.

Kids Kitchen is a great incentive to not only engage with your children but also teach them essential skills for life. The recipes and instructions are easy to follow and the families I work with had so much fun during our online workshop.

A parent of 3 year old twins spoke to me and said that she loved the sessions; and that she travels quite a way to attend as its worth it. Families, in particular those that are first time parents get to experience cooking with their child in a safe and welcoming environment and also get the confidence to continue the activity at home. Its an introduction to healthy cooking and eating which considering we have high obesity amongst children in this borough is very much needed... ace!

During the pandemic

As with so many of us, at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic we had to stop all of our usual sessions and activities. After the initial shock, we rallied together to work out how to continue to support families during this difficult time. As well as launching our Online hub and virtual playgroup, we collaborated with partners to keep families cooking together as much as we could.

This included:

  • An online community festival involving 80 families for resident-led Phoenix Housing Association (South London)
  • A vibrant session for Black History Month with Walthamstow Toy Library and an outdoor autumnal family session on Aldriche Way Estate (East London)
  • Recipes and advice for specific ingredients, plus ingredient bags for families with Leominster Food Bank (Herefordshire)

We’re delighted to fund Kids Kitchen Collective, which brings people together to learn cooking skills and build confidence, and where parents use their own experiences of isolation and mental ill health to support others. Thanks to National Lottery players this project will help change lives.

With high levels of deprivation and childhood obesity, anything that can help to address poor diets on a budget like this is really important. Plus the classes are right by the playground, so the kids can have a run around afterwards!

As a charitable community green space we work with other organisations like Kids Kitchen so that local residents understand the value of and benefits of local organic food. With our food growing spaces and covered classroom we can partner to encourage young people and families to learn about growing and cooking.
