How we're funded

Hackney School of Food is a not-for-profit, set up as a community interest company. This means all our profits go back into running our organisation so that we can support even more people with our work. We offer both low-cost and free classes thanks to the money we raise through donations and grants as well as corporate events, paid-for classes and hiring out our spaces.

Support us

As a not-for-profit, we rely on the generosity of individuals and organisations to sustain our work. Every ticket purchased and donation made directly supports our schools and community food education programmes, enabling a wide range of people to experience the joy of cooking and food growing.
