With well over 60 foodbanks, pantries and community food support initiatives across Glasgow, Queen’s Park FC Foundation understands that there is a need in our community to help local families get the most out of the food that they can access to balance cooking on a low budget for the whole family, while ensuring nutritional value is maximised!

Starting our pilot in Aug 2024 across 6 weeks, families have been cooking along with our community chef, healthy, culturally and religiously inclusive and nutritious meals while skills and confidence building in the kitchen, learning about food safety and hygiene too.

We know that good food contributes to overall health and happiness, and it is our mission to help local families foster this with our support, teaching the cooking skills required and the nutritional knowledge for families to sustain this for themselves and for future generations to come, as we work and learn together week to week, enjoying the free meal we cook together too as one big family! It has been great to bring people together to make friends too. 

We have had such a positive response to our classes so far, with one participant saying:

“Thank you so much. It was so great to access something as a family. My 7-year-old ate all her vegetables! Delighted! Thank you”

Is this something that you feel you and your family could benefit from, or do you know a family who would like our support to learn? Get in touch today to enquire at:
