ACA - Empowering independence through food

At Auntie's Cookery Academy, we've taken on a mission to change the lives of young people through the power of food and opportunity. Picture a place where young individuals who've recently left the care system aren't merely getting by, but truly flourishing. We're turning that vision into reality.

Here's what your dontations will do:

£10 - The essential cost of food for one lesson for one young person

£120 - Covers the cost of food for one student to complete the course

£800 - The cost of one student to complete the 12 week course

£10,000 - The pilot scheme can commence!

Our distinctive approach empowers these exceptional young people, aged 16 to 24, by equipping them with the vital life skills and employability training they require. But our commitment doesn't stop there. We place them right at the core of a genuine social enterprise – a 'Food Truck' that they manage themselves.

Our students aren't navigating this journey alone. With the guidance of Emily-Jane Dale and Bhavna Patel, they become the masterminds of their own success. It's not just about learning; it's about leading.

But our involvement doesn't conclude in the kitchen. We connect these young adults with local businesses, offering them opportunities for interviews and giving them a platform to display their extraordinary skills at our 'end of course' open evening. It's a win-win situation for our students and the community.

And here's the most exciting part – we're ensuring all of this is accessible through scholarships that cover all course fees. We're constructing brighter futures one meal at a time.

Auntie's Cookery Academy isn't simply a charity; we're a family that believes in cooking up success collectively. Join us in shaping a world where every young life has a chance to shine.
