Off Air... with Jane and Fi
I do give my chef the weekend off
Ep. 263
•
In this special in partnership with The National Lottery, Jane visited ‘Cook For Good’, the Islington based community kitchen and food pantry.
Whilst there, Jane sat down with co-founder Karen, and benefactor Amel, and talked about the ‘Cook For Good’ story, the need for services like these, the power of food to bring communities together, and the impact The National Lottery have had on this east-London charity.
And since 2021, Cook for Good has received more than £18,000 in funding from National Lottery Players.
Our big thanks to Karen and Robienne for a lovely morning!
