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.

Our partners at Inn Churches have had a busy summer teaching more than 400 kids aged 7-15 how to cook. 

Jamie’s Ministry of Food comes to Brighton, thanks to funding from the People’s Postcode Lottery which has helped to launch the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership’s new community kitchen.

Brighton and Hove Food Partnership launched a month-long crowdfunding campaign on Thursday 1 February 2018 to raise £20,000 for a Community Kitchen where local people can be inspired to cook for health, fun and friendship.

Teaching the benefits of healthy home cooking

A cooking instructor training programme provided by the Jamie Oliver company is the latest to receive accreditation from RSPH.

HOTPOINT AND JAMIE OLIVER’S FOOD FOUNDATION HAVE TEAMED UP TO SHOW THAT COOKING CAN BE FUN, QUICK AND GOOD FOR ALL THE FAMILY.

How many of you cook your evening meal from scratch every night?

I would hazard a guess that it won’t be many of you and as research from Jamie’s Ministry Of Food shows this sadly the case for many of us.

Foundation of Light’s Ministry of Food Family Learning programme was given the royal seal of approval at Festival of Learning’s 25th Anniversary last week.

Adult and community learning programmes give families the opportunity to participate and learn in fun, varied activities that support parents and carers to help their children, and to learn themselves. The Foundation of Light’s Family Learning programmes offer a high-quality range of courses. They are available for families focusing on various topics relating to child development, health and well-being, mental health awareness, healthy cooking in partnership with the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation, maths, English and finance.

We’ve recently finished a cooking course with a group of men from the Fresh Start 4U project. The Fresh Start 4U project works alongside the Probation Service and the Community Rehabilitation Company, its aim is to support adult offenders and in particular those with shorter custodial sentences and community orders in moving away from offending and into paid employment or volunteering. Over twelve weeks, we spent time each session teaching the guys to cook and also to budget, shop and store food safely.
