Hope Beyond Borders

Vegetarian kitchen

Healthy vegetarian and vegan meals cooked with the community, and training for local chefs.

Working with chefs from our own community, we cook and share plant-based meals that are nutritious, affordable and open to everyone. Over time we have built a small network of community kitchens so more families can benefit.

We have also trained community chefs, supporting them to gain their Level 2 food hygiene certificate and complete a six-week intensive course in vegetarian cooking.

Workshops

At Gateshead Integration Station (NE8) we run cooking and information workshops on reducing food waste and eating less meat – practical choices that cut CO₂ emissions and make for a healthier, greener everyday life.
