Cook & Connect: bringing our community together through cooking

25th March 2026

 

This spring, Chichester District Foodbank is delighted to be working with Bradshaw Lodge Care Home, part of the Crystal Care Collection, and Age UK West Sussex, Brighton & Hove to deliver Cook and Connect. This free four-week course will bring people together through food while building confidence in cooking healthy, budget-friendly meals.

Hosted at our Chichester food bank centre, the sessions will offer a welcoming space where participants can learn to cook healthy, budget-friendly meals from scratch. With guidance from professional chefs from Bradshaw Lodge Care Home, participants will build confidence, skills and connection.

When and where?

Join us from 11am to 1pm on:

  • 16 April
  • 23 April
  • 30 April
  • 7 May

📍 Chichester District Foodbank, Unit 10, Chichester Trade Centre, Quarry Lane, PO19

Participants who attend all four sessions will receive a free slow cooker to take home. These were kindly provided by CLM Fireproofing via Hyde Group’s Match my Project initiative.

We’re incredibly grateful to all our partners for making this project possible!
