02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Kate's Kitchen offers much more than meeting the immediate needs of those who are in crisis in the communities we serve. The open-door policy of Kate's Kitchen not only extends to local people in need, who may want to speak to someone in a difficulty or crisis, it also extends to organisations who feel that an element of collaborative working would benefit those same individuals. The charity also offers volunteer opportunities, computer suite use and training, employability training, gardening, planting, personal garden box management opportunities and much more. The charity continues to focus on the prevention or relief of poverty and on addressing social isolation. Kate's Kitchen aims to enable and empower people in many aspects of their lives to help them take control, through signposting and referral to partner agencies. The charity provides training courses in basic life skills.
