Help! I made a last minute decision to enter the Hackney Half Marathon again this year, after an exhausting few months setting up my new restaurant EDIT and barely enough time to train... it certainly won't be a PB but I am running for a supremely good cause close to my heart and our charity partner at EDIT: Made In Hackney - a Local Community Food Kitchen.
Made In Hackney believe everyone should have access to healthy, affordable food that's good for people and planet and work so hard everyday to deliver fun, supportive, and life changing courses in healthy cooking and food growing designed to enhance health and wellbeing of London residents.
Like EDIT, MIH's Food Policy is plant based, local, seasonal and organic.
They work with local charities, community organisations, mental health groups, housing associations and various other support groups to ensure their classes are offered to people most in need such as low income families, children in care, teen carers, young people excluded from school, parents and children, adults on rehabilitation programs, people suffering from diet related health problems and other groups.
Their teachers help learners develop the practical skills to feed themselves and their family as healthily and ethically as their budget allows. Classes also incorporate discussions about reducing waste, eating seasonally, buying local, understanding certifications, reading food labels and how food choices can help tackle global issues such as climate change, global inequality and diet-related mental and physical ill health - and how this relates to improving the local environment in Hackney.
As well as the cookery programmes they run, they take their programme into schools, housing estates, community centres and anywhere else with people with a desire to learn how to cook delicious healthy food that’s good for people and planet.
Please give what you can!
