Comfort Kitchen: Free community meal every week

A free weekly meal to help financially and socially disadvantaged people

Comfort Kitchen is a free community meal held each week. Its purpose is to provide a safe space where community members can connect over a meal. Comfort Kitchen is not just about the food - it's about breaking down the barriers of social isolation.

This program is self-funded and relies on the generous support of local individuals and businesses. It is also supported by many community volunteers who dedicate their time to cooking and serving the meals.
