“Volunteering has given me the opportunity to believe in myself again”
It’s inspired me to cook at home even more than I did and has given me my life back in a very good way. It’s good for my mental health and it’s also inspired me to make changes to my diet. I eat more fresh produce, less meat and fish and I’m more experimental with vegetables and tofu. I have been overwhelmed by how much kindness there is throughout Made In Hackney’s services. How much everyone genuinely cares about what they do and wants to share their knowledge and skills.

“The classes are a great way for me to get out and meet people”
I’m pretty much housebound at the moment after being ill. The classes are a great way for me to get out and meet people. The vegan food we learn to cook is very important for our health but just as important is the friendly ambiance and opportunity to meet different people. I particularly enjoy Nena’s classes. I love how she approaches food holistically. She sees food has a healing element. She teaches you about traditional Nigerian dishes and how to make them vegan. I’m Nigerian so I really relate to this. Her classes are amazing.
