Campaign idea: Paul is cooking for his community
After years of living quietly with his mother, Paul joined a community kitchen and found the confidence to cook independently.
This story
Paul lived a semi-reclusive life with his mother until she died in March 2020, having never had a job since leaving school at 16. With support from his extended family, he began living independently and took up a weekly volunteer shift at a community kitchen in Chelmsford. He now walks 40 minutes each way to prepare meals and is working with employment services towards finding paid kitchen work.
What your brand could do
