Kicking Back

We’re a tenacious CIC cooking up self-financing, ‘chip in what you can’ ready-to-reheat meals to nourish every corner of the community. We’re all about embracing lost, local, and leftover ingredients and turning them into tasty meals in underutilised neighbourhood kitchen spaces.

We’re not just feeding tummies; we’re feeding futures.

Our impacts are improved nutrition, reduced carbon footprint, and tackling poverty.

Improved Nutrition
By linking portion sizes to family composition and optimising recipe design, we cook delicious and nutritious meals targeted at affordable Aldi and Lidl price points, serving the entire community without sacrificing nutrition for cost.

Reduced Carbon Footprint
By maximizing the use of existing infrastructures and ingredients, and reducing domestic energy consumption through collective cooking, we make the most of what we already have.

Tackling Poverty
By creating paid positions instead of relying on volunteers, strengthening community social enterprise, and keeping cash within the local economy, we pave the way for communities built on solidarity and resilience, eradicating food poverty at its source.
