NHG Staff: Help Nourished Routes Grow

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Nourished Routes CIC.

Our partnership with NHG has already helped transform an underused community space into a thriving community asset, supporting children, families and local residents every week. 

Nourished Routes empowers children and young people through practical cooking and nutrition education, giving them the knowledge, skills and confidence to lead healthier lives while supporting families experiencing food insecurity and helping to reduce health inequalities in our communities.

Together, we have already engaged 300+ children, supported 185 families, achieved Ofsted registration, grown to 125+ children attending weekly, and employed 3 NHG residents. 

 Donate

Every donation helps us provide practical cooking, nutrition education, healthy food experiences and wellbeing support for children, young people and families.

Your support can help us:

Provide ingredients for children’s cooking sessions
Offer subsidised places for families facing financial pressure
Launch community pantry support before school holidays
Deliver family cooking programmes and supper clubs

Volunteer

Could you give your time, skills or energy?

We are looking for kind, reliable people to support our after-school club, community pantry, family events and future programmes.

You could help with food preparation, setting up activities, welcoming families, sorting pantry donations, supporting events or sharing a professional skill.

Help create employment opportunities

One of our goals is to create meaningful paid opportunities for local people, especially NHG residents.

If your team, department or network can support us with funding, training, mentoring, recruitment pathways or work experience opportunities, we would love to talk.

 Partner with us

Do you have an idea, connection, resource or opportunity that could help Nourished Routes grow?

We are especially interested in partnerships around:

• Community pantries
• Family cooking programmes
• Holiday support
• Supper clubs
• Food education
• Health and wellbeing
• Permanent community space

As someone who grew up in NHG housing, lived as an NHG resident for decades and now runs a community organisation working alongside NHG, I have seen this partnership from every angle.

What we have achieved together shows what is possible when residents, communities and organisations are given the opportunity to grow.

And I truly believe we are only just getting started!
