Thursday is Yvonne’s favourite day of the week. It’s a chance for her family to enjoy a healthy meal, try something new and spend time with other families at school. Plus it's one night where she doesn't need to cook.

Good food tastes even better when it’s shared. 💚 That’s something we have in common with our brilliant partners at Wagamama. This week, wagamama chefs joined our volunteers at FoodCycle Camden, bringing their skills to the kitchen and cooking up some wagamama classics for our guests to enjoy.

You'd expect the food to be the most important part. But ask any volunteer what keeps them coming back, and they'll probably tell you it's the conversations. The familiar faces. The feeling of walking into a room where everyone belongs.

Summer plans don't have to involve airports and festivals. ☀️💚 Sometimes the best afternoons are spent around a kitchen, laughing with people you've only just met, turning surplus ingredients into something delicious and watching a room fill with smiles.

So... the London Marathon ballot results are out. For some people, it's the email they've been hoping for. For many others, it's not the news they wanted. If your ballot place didn't come through this time, don't put those running shoes away just yet.

Next Tuesday is Pancake Day. It's an opportunity to use up leftover ingredients, which is something we can get on board with! Sweet or savoury, folded or piled high, Pancake Day is the perfect excuse to get creative in the kitchen. Think soft pancakes, leftover fruit and a drizzle of honey.
