This event will be held in our dining area, where the team from Bath Community Kitchen (BCK) will be preparing a delicious and nourishing vegetarian lunch for all to enjoy.
Here at the YMCA Bath Hostel, we are more than just a place to stay. We’re part of the wider charity YMCA Brunel Group, dedicated to supporting young people and the broader community. Led by local charity Bath Community Kitchen, this meal will be cooked with the help of some of the young people we currently support.
Boosting Cooking Skills: Cooking is a life skill that fosters independence and creativity. Our young people are directly involved in preparing this meal, learning valuable skills they can carry forward in their personal lives. From planning the menu to cooking, this is a hands-on experience with BCK that empowers them.
Supporting Mental Wellbeing: We believe that food is more than sustenance; it’s a way to nourish the soul. Cooking together, sharing experiences, and offering meals to others fosters connection and a sense of belonging. The simple act of creating something meaningful, like a meal, can have a positive impact on mental health.
Details
The menu is yet to be confirmed, but rest assured, it will be a wholesome, vegetarian meal crafted with care. At the last event, BCK served a hearty tagine with couscous and a fresh salad, which received amazing feedback from everyone who attended.
The meal will be offered on a Pay What You Can basis. Together with Bath Community Kitchen, we believe that good food should be accessible to all. To purchase your ticket in advance, visit this link or click the button below.
We encourage you to contribute what you can, but if finances are tight, don’t worry – you’re still welcome. The guide price for the meal is £9, but you can pay more or less, depending on what’s comfortable for you. If you’re unable to pay anything, please join us anyway; we will provide you with a free meal. No questions asked.
Community Meal
This event is more than just about food – it’s about coming together as a community. We welcome everyone, from families to individuals, young people to the elderly, and anyone in between. Whether you’re a Bath local or new to the area, we hope you’ll come by to share a meal, meet new people, and support a cause that’s close to our hearts.
Food has the power to bring people together, and we’re excited to see our canteen filled with smiles, conversation, and full bellies. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected community.
