Story

Hello everyone, 

My name is Dylan, I am nine years old and I am doing a 30-day cooking challenge to raise money for people experiencing homelessness. 

COVID has affected people in many different ways and homelessness has increased by 23% in London during the COVID crisis. This is heartbreaking and I think we can all do something to help... even children! 

The charity I am supporting is Glass Door. They run London’s largest emergency winter night shelter network, providing a safe, warm place to sleep for up to 170 men and women a night in partnership with churches across West London. Year-round, men and women with nowhere else to turn can find drop-in centres during the day and the support they need to end their homelessness. Glass Door night shelters save lives, and the support services help change lives.

Please donate to this worthy cause and, if you enjoy cooking, follow my 30-day cooking challenge at this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9bz648UYWPiYDnsabF4tlg/videos

It is going to be a lot of fun, and I will try not to burn down my parents' kitchen in the process!

UPDATE: my recipes have now been collected in a Recipe Book and published on Amazon (all profits are going to Glass Door): https://www.amazon.co.uk/30-Day-Cooking-Challenge-Recipe-Book-ebook/dp/B09HP7JDPY/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=dylan+cooking+challenge&qid=1634028983&qsid=259-2856424-0851336&sr=8-1&sres=B09HP7JDPY%2CB08LHKSFBM%2C1455542202%2CB07QMP58QJ%2CB086FS9ZSK%2CB07XHKXZGR%2CB07944TZ8V%2CB07G395ZWF%2CB003R7KZ5S%2CB0001IX1SE%2CB01N1G6HYH%2CB06X9H9PP1%2CB07ZP4HLVF%2CB010CGSW5Q%2CB076MWG4Q5%2CB07ND8WRWW
