About The People'S Kitchen

Charity offering friendship, food and futures to homeless and disadvantaged people

The People'S Kitchen Description

The People’s Kitchen was started in 1985 by Alison Kay (who was then in her 70s). Alison began in a humble way, sitting with alcoholics and homeless men in the city centre. After many hours of patient visits the barriers of mistrust started to fall away, conversations began and so was born the People's Kitchen.

From this simple beginning she moved on to bring some soup and sandwiches from her own home to share with her new-found “friends”.

The charity's base, The Alison Centre, has provided thousands of meals for thousands of needy people. At present, the centre is open for four sessions per week, and we also undertake three sessions of street outreach, often feeding over 120 people in a session.

Our ethos is to provide friendship, food, futures and clothing; we are extending our services to signpost specialist agencies to help our friends live independently.

The charity has no paid staff, everyone is a volunteer. Please see our website if you would like to come and help us: www. peopleskitchen. co. uk

The work depends on donations from many sources and we would love to hear from you if you wish to contribute.

We will use the Facebook page to keep you informed with People's Kitchen news and welcome constructive feedback and questions.

On an awful afternoon weather wise the People’s Kitchen held its first Sunday afternoon film club. We hope to make this a regular event with the friends choosing a film. It is also a few hours reprieve from the cold and wet as the nights draw in. Drinks and snacks were also available
