Change to Programme: Saturday 18th June, 7.30pm.

This evening the Mary Lamb Lecture was to have been given by our MP, Kate Osamor.
Kate was a friend of the MP Jo Cox who was murdered on Thursday, and quite understandably is unable to join us this evening.

In place of the lecture, a local actor will be giving a reading of the essay which inspired our annual lecture, Mary Lamb's 'On Needlework'. You can read an excellent article about the importance of the essay here: theguardian.com/books/2003/aug/16/featuresreviews.guardianreview14

We will begin this evening's event with two minutes silence as a mark of respect for Jo Cox, and for her family and friends.

All the best,
Stuart.
Festival Organiser.

While we admire and support the Christmas campaigns that we see pop up in December, we also know that help is urgently needed all year round, each and every year. As some people pack away after the festive break, we are still here.

Our support is not limited to a food package, but it leaps beyond - we form connections, we listen and respond to everyone who steps through our doors. We open up a warm, safe, environment which aims to feel like a home away from home.

For us to continue to thrive and grow, and keep supporting as many people as possible, we are asking you to become a Friend of Cooking Champions. Even a donation of just £5-10 per month can make a HUGE impact on the lives of those who come through our doors.

Pop to our People's Fundraising page to donate, and we promise to keep you updated with how your support is making a difference. Thank you, we appreciate you! Team Cooking Champions
