Lottery funding helps Share students cook low-cost healthy meals during cost-of-living crisis

New funding from The National Lottery Community Fund is helping us to develop our new home cooking skills project, providing students with the skills they need to make healthy, cost-effective meals at home. Mounting living costs are putting added pressure on many of us, and we want to focus on practical ways to support our students and their families during the cost-of-living crisis.

Using our bespoke training kitchen at We are 336 in Brixton, weekly sessions allow students to plan and research recipes, create shopping lists, buy the ingredients, and learn how to cook low-cost nutritious meals. This will also help to embed the practical skills needed for our students to live more independently.
