This social enterprise trains and supports young people living in temporary accommodation, helping them move into their own homes. Chefs develop skills like curating events, cooking and financial planning.
Island Social Club
Island Social Club’s Nyamming series is more than a meal, it’s an exploration of culture and roots. Each event promises delicious food and cocktails as well as spoken-word performances investigating different Caribbean traditions.
The Queer Bible Supper Club
If you’re an LGBTQ+ person looking to meet others within the community, this is a great place to start. The event encourages guests to share stories and get to know each other, with queer people of all ages, genders and sexualities coming to dinner.
The Sister Table (pictured above)
Set up by sisters Benjamina and Bonita Ebuehi, The Sister Table brings women together to share food and conversation. The siblings host monthly dining experiences in the hope of forging a community and a sense of belonging.
