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.
