Youth Friendly Employer Haven delivered cookery classes to year 9 students in Blackpool, creating over 200 meals for charity!
In December 2022, Haven worked with students at Highfield Leadership Academy in Blackpool to bring the world of work to life for students.
Students learned about the hospitality and catering industry from a real-life Haven chef who taught them essential cooking skills, whilst doing something incredible for a local charity!
Students worked together in their ‘Kindness Kitchen’ to create 250 meals for Amazing Grace Soup Kitchen who provide a warm, safe space and food for the homeless. This included two 3-hour cookery classes for 28 year 9 students who spent the day cooking spaghetti bolognaise (with a vegetarian option too) and apple crumble.
There was also a special guest appearance from Annie, a Haven mascot, who took some time to meet the school’s own mascot Bill and visit the kitchen.
Youth Employment UK are delighted to be a key partner of Haven and their Early Careers Academy, and to have supported this school partnership. Haven are focusing on building partnerships with schools through the communities they serve, and this is just the start of the ambitions of Haven who are really committed to supporting young people in education to develop their skills and confidence for the journey to work.
