Our project will be a community kitchen that will benefit the community. It will be a place of learning how to get the best out of the food that is locally grown and locally sourced. It will be that link between different cultures, promoting community cohesion through healthy eating. We want to have a space where simple meal preparation can take place. We want to raise funds to partition part of our existing church building and equip the space with a functional kitchen. Help us to get a kitchen. This will be great for the community. We are in a very deprived community where many people are resorting to using food banks.

What we'll deliver:

• Partition are part of the church building
• Install a fully equipped kitchen for catering events and feeding the community initiatives.
• We will have a community kitchen to help feed the hungry.

Why it's a great idea:

Our project will provide beneficiaries with culinary skills that will improve their own health and wellbeing as well as their chances of employment. Community cohesion through making available simple dishes from Africa and Caribbean countries that residents of Walsall can try out. Our project will enable us to become eligible to apply for other funding such as a community fridge facility. We will work with volunteers. We will add to the infrastructure of support for people facing hardship in the local area. Collaborative working with other services where we will be plugging the gaps.

Steps to get it done:

• Getting a kitchen design created. Work with tradesmen and beneficiaries to finalise designs.
• Instruct joiner to build kitchen and workspace.
• Fitting and installation of electrics and plumbing
• Accredited and non-accredited training courses curated
