Bath community kitchen expanding after funding boost
A community kitchen says £19,650 of National Lottery funding has enabled it to expand into another area and ensure its future. Bath Community Kitchen is a not-for-profit that tackles loneliness, isolation and food poverty through community meals once a week in Twerton but said the new funding had enabled it to expand into Radstock in Somerset. The money will also fund places on its Cook Like a Chef course for young people at risk of homelessness, as well as the Guys Can Cook programme for older men living alone who may be isolated.Bath Community Kitchen founder Rob Lewis has said: "Cooking and eating together is such a powerful way to build connections, confidence and a sense of belonging."
