Invest in Opportunity Through Food
Kitchen Community Collective combines community impact with a trading model, using catering to create flexible paid work, skills and development opportunities for migrant women.
We work with funders, commissioners and partners who want to help us build and scale that impact.
The Model
A Social Enterprise Built Around Work
Kitchen Community Collective is not simply a community food project.
Our model connects:
WHAT WE ADDRESS
The Challenges We're Working On
Flexible Employment
Creating opportunities that can work around caring responsibilities and different life circumstances.
Economic Participation
Providing routes to income and practical working experience.
Skills & Confidence
Supporting women to build catering skills, qualifications and confidence through real experience.
Connection & Participation
Creating opportunities to work, contribute and build stronger community connections.
