Dinner Club

We run a free eight-week programme at Rhyl Kitchen Classroom aimed at parents / local residents who want to build their self-confidence and skillset with a view to looking for work in commercial catering.

The programme, which was first launched back in 2024, involves volunteers working with an expert cookery teacher on Tuesday afternoons. The the sessions, volunteers learn the organisational and budgeting skills needed to bulk cook healthy meals which we then distribute to the school community, familes in need and local community groups. All attendees are given the opportunity to complete free Level 2 food safety training. This programme is currently supported by a grant from Camden Council. 

Feedback from previous participants:

"I enjoy most cooking in a beautiful environment in a group. We talk all together. We have fun and really feel good. I really feel good when I cook food for the families that need it. It also encourages us if we want to run a catering business - it has made us confident for big amounts of food."

"I learnt so many new things. My culture's food is different. I learned about which food is healthy or not healthy. About allergies and learning what to wear to keep food safe."

"[It was] valuable for my mental health."
