START YOUR OWN COMMUNITY COOKERY SCHOOL
It’s an online training course and toolkit that shares the learning of Made In Hackney’s 12 year journey and provides mentoring to individuals and collectives in the process of setting up or growing a plant-based community cookery school. As we’re the oldest vegan community cookery school in the UK, you know that you will be in safe hands!

“The programme is extremely helpful. It supported me to register my CIC and now I am scheduling the first plant-based community classes. It is amazing. In the modules and toolkit Made In Hackney shared everything, it makes setting up my own easier.”

“The GPK programme ticks all the areas we hope and strive to make an impact in. We also have a huge interest in future partnerships and cookery classes.”

“When I was living in London years ago, Made In Hackney’s classes really made a big difference in my life, supporting my physical and mental health and the feeling of community. They were the inspiration to become a Natural Chef and to run cooking classes for kids. My food journey led me to quit my job as a consultant and I currently run a Culinary Mindfulness Coaching practice. In the future I see myself setting up a community cookery school like Made In Hackney, which is why I joined Global Plant Kitchens.”

“The mentoring programme was just what I needed to grow my initiative. Made In Hackney linked me with a plant-based nutritionist and teacher who delivers popular classes for us and we raised enough funds to secure our own venue.”

“Mentoring has helped us stick to an every other week commitment. The modules are like the glue in our process and the documents in the toolkit have been very helpful. I’ve translated them to Spanish and put them into context. It is great that we can watch the recorded online events with Spanish subtitles.”
