We are Eat Club
A London based charity since 2014

We are Eat Club – A charity improving young people’s relationship with food.

Our youth cooking courses are designed to improve the relationship people have with food to address the underlying barriers to healthy eating and improve health and wellbeing.

We believe that delicious wholesome food, prepared from scratch and eaten together can help people lead happier, healthier lives. We apply this ethos to our supper clubs and bespoke events.

Find out more about what we do and how you can get involved.

Youth Work

We aim to address the underlying barriers to healthy eating. Our cooking courses help to improve the relationship children and teenagers have with food through cooking as a team and eating together at the end of each session. This approach transcends the classroom and makes a sustainable difference to the future of the young people and their community.

Solo Supper Club

The Solo Supper Club is an exciting venture from Eat Club. We run on the principle that no one should eat alone. Whether you’re looking to meet new people or simply to sharpen your knife skills in good company, our doors are open.

All you need is a healthy contempt for a microwave meal for one!
