The incredible team at Made In Hackney (of which I’m a part!) has opened applications for Global Plant Kitchens, a one-year free mentorship program for anyone wanting to set up their own vegan community food project.
And when I say mentorship, I don’t just mean a couple of emails and a “good luck” pat on the back. They guide you through the entire process including funding, venue-hunting, marketing, and operations. They’ll even check in with you every two weeks to keep you on track.
If this sounds interesting, keep reading below.
This isn’t just some theoretical pipe dream. Last year, Global Plant Kitchens helped people in Peru, Macau, Exeter, and Manchester turn their ideas into real-life community kitchens.
One mentee even said:
“The programme is extremely helpful. It supported me to register my CIC and now I am scheduling the first plant-based community classes. It is amazing!”
Pretty cool, right?
If you’ve ever thought about starting a plant-based community kitchen, this is your opportunity. Send an email to info@globalplantkitchens.org and get involved. You can also check out the completely FREE toolkit online right now.
Compassion is about so much more than just what we buy in supermarkets. It’s about community, empowerment, and making sure everyone has access to delicious, nourishing plant-based food. If you’ve got a dream to make that happen, Global Plant Kitchens is here to help you make it a reality.
You can order my book ‘Fat Gay Vegan: Eat, Drink and Live Like You Give a Sh!t’ online now. It has been out a while now but is still a good read. You can also listen to the Audiobook read by me!
