The KickStart Kitchen

The KickStart Kitchen offers free professional chef training and networking services to those currently facing a barrier to employment.

We work with top head chefs and restaurants in order to offer a training course coupled with unique work placements, all designed to produce entry level trainee chefs from all walks of life, notably living in Direct Provision, exiting homelessness services, early school leavers, those from disadvantaged backgrounds and immigrants.

The KickStart Kitchen also aims to help our Hospitality Sector struggling to recruit staff.

Our long-term aim


To have our own dedicated training premises where we can train up hundreds if not 1000s of young people each year, steering them away from drugs, crime or the threat of becoming homeless, and ultimately towards a life changing learning process and new career.
