SOUL KITCHEN

Soul Kitchen aims to provide a hot meal to those in need within the local community. We have worked with food banks, welcome support from local businesses and charities. This year has presented many challenges and we have had to innovate our approach. We are now working with local councils and communities, offering support to the vulnerable by supplying essential items and food packs.
