Bringing people together through healthy, affordable cooking!

Redbridge Cooking Connections welcomed local residents to an engaging cooking demonstration at the Pop-Up Hub in Ilford Exchange, where the spotlight was on a delicious and budget-friendly chickpea and rice dish.

The session explored how everyday ingredients can be turned into a nutritious, satisfying meal without stretching the budget. Residents had the chance to pick up useful cooking tips, learn about safe food preparation and allergens, and discover ways to make meals healthier by including more vegetables and plant-based ingredients.

By sharing practical skills and bringing people together around food, Redbridge Cooking Connections continues to help residents feel more confident in the kitchen and make healthier choices every day.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Meet the Funder: Ilford Community Fund session.

It was great to bring together voluntary and community organisations to learn more about the fund, its priorities, and how it can support projects making a positive difference to the lives of local residents.

We hope the session provided useful insight into the funding available and helped organisations feel more confident about developing their ideas and applications.

Strong communities are built through collaboration. Together, we can share ideas, create new opportunities, strengthen local connections and help ensure that communities across Redbridge have the support they need to thrive.

If you missed the session and have any questions, please do get in touch with our Funding Development team at [email protected]. We’ll be happy to answer your questions and provide any further information you may need.
