Update on the Ministry of Food activities
Jamie’s Ministry of Food partners from across the UK came together at Jamie Oliver HQ yesterday to celebrate the successes of the last year and share ideas for the future.
This year our partners in Australia, The Good Foundation (TGF), have been piloting a version of Jamie’s Ministry of Food programme in the indigenous communities of Torres Strait Island, Ravenshoe and Mount Garnet.
We are always looking for like-minded partners and individuals to launch new centres or programmes. To set up a Ministry of Food programme you will need to secure funding. Please get in touch and we can discuss the various options available.
We believe in empowering people to lead change in their own communities, which is why we provide training and resources to partners who deliver the programme locally. Have a look to see if we have a partner in your area. If you are interested in establishing a new Ministry of Food centre, please get in touch.
Our partners deliver Ministry of Food cooking lessons across the UK and beyond. To sign up, find your nearest centre and contact them directly.
Volunteers play a vital role in the Ministry of Food programme. Most of our partners have volunteering opportunities, so either contact them directly or get in touch with us.
