Help us give young people living in hostel accommodation the tools they need to cook for themselves.

We are raising money to buy kitchen starter packs of essentials for young people living in FITZE, an 80 bed hostel, run by the charitable organisation EVOLVE. The hostel provides accommodation and a range of services for young homeless people to help them to move on and lead independent lives.

The young people at FITZE have been working hard learning how to cook, bake, slice and dice — but they don’t have any pots, pans or utensils of their own to cook with. These starter packs will be theirs to keep, learn to cook with at FITZE and take with them as they move to permanent homes.

Each kitchen starter pack costs £50 and includes all the basic kitchen equipment our young people need. Donate today to buy a starter pack or buy an item to go in it:

Utensil set £3

Roasting tin £6

24cm frying pan £13

3x saucepans with lids £24

Whole starter pack £50

Thank you for all contributions which will help our young people to eat healthily, save money and feed themselves and their families as they take their next steps.
