PARTNERSHIPS
Partnerships that deliver lasting social impact
These days, loads of organisations are looking to deliver practical social impact which goes beyond ESG goals. And employees who can pick and choose are increasingly keen to work for companies whose values align with their own. A partnership with us will deliver on both.
Our partners usually start off as teambuilding clients, and then enjoy it so much that they decide to get more deeply involved. We then come up with a partnership plan that matches their aims and ours.
Here are some of the ways that our current partners are working more closely with us:
Deeping collaboration by booking multiple events across different formats, both in our kitchen and at their premises.
Customising our events to align with their L&D objectives, to support team and colleague development.
Bringing in specific cohorts as part of their onboarding or development, such as new graduates or leadership trainees.
Collaborating with us on strategic projects, such as funding a community programme or selling our soups in their offices.

Helping you meet UN Sustainable Development Goals
A partnership with Cook for Good can take you more than half-way towards meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. From tackling poverty to creating opportunities for decent work, here are the ways that working with us can help.
We’re helping to tackle the root causes of food insecurity and poverty for people in low-income households, by providing access to affordable food, and a range of advice including cooking on a budget, accessing employment and debt management.
We’re also working to tackle the impact of food insecurity and the cost of living crisis through our Community Pantry, where members can pick up a basket of food worth around £35 for just £3.50 a week
We’re providing free cooking classes and courses for residents aged 5 to 85, teaching them to cook healthy, budget-friendly meals from scratch. And we support mental wellbeing by creating opportunities for people to connect with each other.
Our Community Brigade programme is providing local residents with skills and experience to help them access jobs in catering and hospitality, including at our team building events.
We’ve built a Community Kitchen, developed a Community Pantry, and created an innovative social trading model that brings businesses and communities together, for the benefit of both.
One in four of our community say they are in a desperate financial situation; by addressing food insecurity and barriers to work, we’re helping people from a diverse range of backgrounds tackle health and financial inequalities.
Our Community Pantry and Community Kitchen were disused spaces which we have brought back into community use. They are safe, inclusive places where people of all ages can come together, eat together and learn together.
In 2024-25 we redistributed 13 tonnes of surplus food through our Pantry. We also teach residents how to make meals from ingredients that might otherwise have been wasted.
