Friendly Food Club

The Friendly Food Club is Dorset’s cooking and food education charity. Our enthusiastic team delivers cookery workshops and food education and skills sessions in the community, including friendly and social cooking programmes for disadvantaged and marginalised adults and children, including cookery skills, healthy eating and therapeutic cooking sessions, and community meals for elderly and vulnerable groups. We do more than help people learn to cook. The benefits we create for individuals, families and communities include:

increased self-reliance

improved self-confidence

better mental health

meaningful social interaction

increased feelings of self-worth.

We usually work in partnership with local organisations to reach those most in need with the support that will make the most impact.
