FUNDRAISE FOR US
Keep the Kitchen cooking
It costs over £300,000 every year to keep the Coexist Community Kitchen’s doors open and ovens on. That’s why we’re always cooking up creative ways to raise money — from catering events & weddings, running workshops, and hosting unforgettable food events. Every penny goes back into keeping this place alive.
We need your help!
Our small but mighty team — supported by a crew of incredible volunteers — raises over £150,000 each year, around half of what’s needed to keep the kitchen running. The rest comes from grants, trusts, donations, and people in our community choosing to fundraise for us.
Community support has always been a vital part of keeping this kitchen running and growing. This kitchen means so much to so many, and it’s people coming together and doing amazing things that helps secure its future. With your support, we can not only keep going, but grow our impact and be there for even more people in the years ahead.
Whether it’s hosting a supper club, running a bake sale, taking on a challenge, or bringing people together in your own way, fundraising for Coexist Community Kitchen helps keep this space alive for everyone who needs it.
The difference you could make
Setting a fundraising target of £500 is a great place to start — and it can make a real difference
Raising £500 could help us:
Cook 162 meals for people experiencing food insecurity
Welcome 58 people to our free Monthly Meal for a hot, nourishing plate of food
Offer 7 people a free place at one of our outreach cooking workshops
Every fundraiser, big or small, helps us bring people together, share food, and support those who need it most.
Fundraising Ideas
Not sure where to start? Here are a few tasty ways to rally your friends, family, and colleagues:
Host a Supper Club
Bring people together over great food while raising money for a brilliant cause. Hosting a supper club is a simple and joyful way to support Coexist Community Kitchen.
You could host at home, in a community space, or even use our kitchen. Invite friends, family, or colleagues to share a meal, and ask for a donation to support our work. You can cook your favourite dishes, showcase your culture through food, or keep things simple — it’s about bringing people together.
It’s a fun, meaningful way to fundraise, and every pound raised helps keep the kitchen running and open to those who need it most.
Need some inspiration? We’ve created four delicious recipe kits to help you host an unforgettable feast. Each menu feeds around 10 people and can be easily scaled up or down. With step-by-step recipes, shopping lists, and hosting tips, you’ll have everything you need to bring people together over great food while raising money for a brilliant cause.
