Community Projects

---

Little Chefs is Food for Thought CIC’s family cooking programme for children aged 5–15 and their parents. Our aim is to build food confidence, teach essential cooking skills, and inspire healthier habits through fun, hands-on sessions where every child contributes to a shared meal.

When & Where

Mondays, 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm at Hatchford Brook Family Hub

Also running at community venues across Solihull, Birmingham, and Sandwell (including Super SEN sessions for children with additional needs)

Join us every Friday, 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm at Dorothy Parkes Centre for Soup & Social, where we serve free homemade soup and fresh bread in a welcoming space for conversation and connection.

This weekly gathering is about more than food – it’s about bringing people together.

Why come to Soup & Social?

• Enjoy a hot, nutritious meal made with care.

• Meet new people and build friendships in a relaxed, friendly environment.

• Take a break from the week and share stories over good food.

• Support a project that reduces food waste and strengthens community wellbeing.

Everyone is welcome, whether you come for the soup, the company, or both.
