Investment project code: 267
Job Title - Cook for the Community Cafe
Amount Requested = £9,529.00
Drawing on our experience of food provision during Covid 19 We feel that it was now more important than ever to offer the resource of a community recovery café. Hence the reason we asked SG to reprovision funds to provide monies for a cook we can only fund 12 hours per week, however we believe the community needs access to the support of the café 5 days per week. Food is a catalyst for bringing people together, we will use the dignity principles to offer additional support to those who access the café/hub area.
From our Fareshare we will provide food for those in need for a short period of time (no more than a 6-week period to establish benefit claims etc. any longer would be creating a dependency) We will offer support re advice opportunities to volunteer, train gain new skills and confidence, support in relation to benefits support to apply for benefits access to computers and internet & financial literacy budgeting support from our partner Your Money Sorted.
With the wrap around support on offer we aim to meet the Anti -poverty objectives 1,2,4.4. If successful in our application we will work with a range of new partners to support we are actively engaging with partners for support in relation to being a training venue & engagement with the college for accreditation for those volunteering in the café.
