Made In Hackney

Did you tune into Overheated at the weekend? The day of climate conversations co-founded by Billie Eilish had its third edition in Atlanta, Georgia. Lots of important conversations were had. From environmental justice to sustainable fashion, the importance of storytelling to the power of voting. Watch it back on Billie’s YouTube channel >> https://lnkd.in/e5rnRdGc And keep an eye out for our Climate Justice Lead Farah Ahmed. As a past speaker at Overheated, she sent a message this time around to share with the Overheated community. We are grateful to Billie Eilish for inviting us to be part of these events and also for choosing us alongside charities Fareshare UK & Made In Hackney to benefit from sales of Changemaker tickets for her upcoming London tour shows.

This Trustees’ Week, we’re celebrating the dedication of those who help shape Made In Hackney. Trustees like Jenny Chu play a vital role in bringing expertise, passion, and vision to our mission. As a global climate advocate, her work has always focused on big-picture solutions that create sustainable change. Made in Hackney’s approach struck her as both inspiring and essential, blending nutritious food access with a mission to promote plant-based diets and environmental sustainability. 🌎 “Made in Hackney’s mission resonates deeply with my work in climate and food systems. It’s an opportunity to make a tangible difference in people’s lives right here in London, helping them access nourishing food while supporting sustainable practices.” 🤝 ”I became a trustee because MIH connects food, climate, and community in deeply meaningful ways” 💚 “If you’re passionate about creating greener, healthier, and more equitable communities, consider becoming a trustee. It’s an opportunity to make a profound difference.” You can read more from our interview with Jenny over on our blog at madeinhackney.org. https://lnkd.in/eFnpYvns If you are interested in joining us as a trustee, please email your CV and cover letter to info@madeinhackney.org to apply.

Every week at Crowdfunder UK someone shares their "project of the week" - a chance to highlight the amazing work that people are doing on our platform - and today it was my turn. 😍 I chose Made In Hackney - a community kitchen who host plant-based cooking classes using donated food surplus, deliver nutritious and delicious meals to locals in need, and refer people to financial and wellbeing support services. 💗 They're already over halfway to their target with the help of live match funding which means more meals cooked and more connections made. 🙌 Have a read about their work (and support if you can) here: https://lnkd.in/emRqvqNp And if you want to work with the team who are helping wonderful projects like this get funded, WE'RE HIRING!

We were delighted to attend Vegan Life Live last weekend to spread the message of our community cookery school. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall to say hello and learn about our charity. It was inspiring to see so many plant based businesses doing amazing things, such as Honestly Tasty, Viridian Nutrition and BOSH! by Henry Firth & Ian Theasby to name a few. Our chefs led demos across the weekend at the Herbivore Kitchen Stage and our founder Sarah Bentley and our Partnerships Manager Sean O'Callaghan gave an inspirational talk on food insecurity and the positive impact a plant based diet has locally and globally. A special thank you to Clearspring for their ongoing partnership, and particularly for the tasty snacks for our guests! Thanks so much to Vegan Life Live for their support, particularly Hannah Irons for her kindness and commitment to promoting our important crowdfunder campaign. We have now crossed the halfway point of our campaign in only the first week! Can you help us get to £30k so we can fund our free meal and support services for our community through Winter?
