Eat Club

Eat Club is a UK-based nonprofit organisation and registered charity (charity number 1179229) focused on improving young people's relationship with food. Founded in 2014 and operating primarily in London, Eat Club aims to address barriers to healthy eating and enhance both physical and mental wellbeing through communal food experiences and educational cooking programmes.

Mission and Activities
Eat Club believes that good food, prepared from scratch and shared communally, can help young people lead happier and healthier lives. The charity delivers bespoke cooking courses designed to improve young people's understanding of food and to tackle underlying challenges to healthy eating habits. These courses are often run in partnership with various organisations and youth groups across London, creating relaxed and inclusive environments where meals are prepared collaboratively and consumed together. This approach encourages long-term behavioural change beyond traditional classroom settings.

In addition to youth cooking courses, Eat Club hosts supper clubs and bespoke food-related events, including the Solo Supper Club—an initiative that fosters community and connection by providing a space where no one has to eat alone. The organisation also offers corporate team-building events and celebratory cooking experiences in a central London kitchen.

Governance and Funding
Eat Club is governed by a board of trustees responsible for overseeing the charity’s management and activities. The charity operates with the support of a small team of volunteers and employees, none of whom receive salaries exceeding £60,000. The organisation's funding includes government grants and other sources, with a total income that supports its programmes and initiatives focused on youth empowerment through food.

Impact
By empowering disadvantaged young Londoners to take control of their food future, Eat Club contributes to improved health outcomes and wellbeing in the communities it serves. The charity's educational approach not only teaches practical cooking skills but also fosters social inclusion and confidence among participants.

Eat Club continues to be recognised as a charity that uses the medium of food to make a positive, lasting impact on young people's lives in London and beyond.
