Over the past year, the Inclusion Health Team at Children and Family Health Surrey have been setting up Community Kitchens for asylum seekers in the local community.

As well as the nutritional benefits, there is a hugely positive mental health aspect to Community Kitchens.

The team are keen to explore how they could roll out of this model across England, Wales and Scotland and want to raise funds by creating a Community Kitchen cookbook.

The key to the success of this model is the community response.

Thanks to the Community Kitchen guests; the voluntary sector; partners and funders.

The Community Kitchen initiative is a collaboration between:
Central Surrey Health
First Community Health and Care
Surrey County Council
The voluntary and charity sectors
