Hackney

Made In Hackney is a pioneering, plant-based community cookery school and charity. Our mission is to help people grow, cook and eat more plants - to improve not only the health of our communities, but the planet too. We opened our doors in September 2012 as a project of charity AMURT UK and due to subsequent growth and success became an independent charity in 2017 when the Board was established. We have delivered over 2,000classes, helping to bring about improved health and wellbeing, skills development and community connection to well over 15,000 people. From March last year in response to the pandemic lockdown, Made In Hackney paused the usual programme of activities and launched a COVID-19 response, which included online cookery classes, telephone support (including one-on-one classes), and an emergency direct to door community meal service. As of February 2021, over 65,000free emergency community meals have been delivered. In pre-COVID days, Made In Hackney ran face to race community cookery classes with young carers, refugees, low-income families, and many other community groups to provide a space to learn the practical skills to lead healthier, happier more connected lives.
