COVID-19 RESPONSE...
At the moment we are unable to host in-person live events. Please visit our sister not-for-profit social enterprise, Cook for Good, for details of our online live and interactive cooking sessions for your team building needs. The profits from these sessions is going towards building a community kitchen on a housing estate in London's Kings Cross.
Our clients are facing multiple challenges, including those related to their people and teams, many of whom are furloughed, working remotely and under much pressure. It is increasingly hard to keep people feeling positive, motivated, and connected to the organisations and teams in which they operate. There is a real need for continued bonding and relationship building within teams and between the organisation and its workforce, now more especially than ever when the demands of work are great, and the physical situation with remote working is a reality.
