Haslemere Kitchen Project –
a community project, in collaboration with the Haslemere Food Bank, to simply encourage people from all corners of the community to come together, one Sunday every fortnight, to cook and eat simple, nutritious and delicious meals made from fresh ingredients donated to us by our local supermarkets and butchers. The principal purpose of the project is to serve all and any who need it but we would also like to welcome anyone in the community who will simply feel enriched by sharing a meal with their neighbours.

We do not charge for the meal but do encourage donations as these allow us to keep our community kitchen running
