Quaker Social Action (QSA)’s new project, ‘Cook Up’, is now up and running in London. The scheme involves free-to-use cooking space in Islington for people without kitchens. This includes people who are sofa-surfing or homeless, sleeping in a hostel or a night shelter or a B&B, or otherwise living in conditions that affect their health or leave them at risk of violence or abuse at home. The scheme also offers access to ingredients and nutritional advice, and a space to enjoy the meal at the end of the session. It welcome refugees and asylum seekers.
