THE COMMUNITY COOKERY SCHOOL

Building A Global Plant-Based Movement

We Change Lives With The Power Of Plants

Made in Hackney is a pioneering eco-community kitchen and charity based in East London. We have been running for over 14 years to tackle widespread food poverty, health inequalities, social isolation, and the environmental impacts of our food system. 

We have reached over half a million people through nutritious food, practical cookery education and joyful community spaces that strengthen local resilience and build a more sustainable food culture from the ground up.

Building on this grassroots model, we also provide consultancy and training to support community organisations, businesses, and public services to adopt more plant-based, sustainable approaches.
