Brixton People's Kitchen

The last couple of months at BPK (Brixton People’s Kitchen) Cafe on Lambeth Walk has been a whirlwind of growth, flavor, and community spirit.

As we settle into our permanent home, we are thrilled to introduce our new Cafe Manager, Jumoke, whose passion for social enterprise, culture and inclusive hospitality is already transforming our space into the vibrant, welcoming hub we always envisioned.

A Home Away from Home for Families

Our mission has always been to ensure that "sharing tastes better," and that includes our youngest community members. We are launching a dedicated support plan for families with small children, featuring:

• A "Kid-Friendly" Zone: A safe, engaging space for little ones to play while parents recharge.

• Subsidised Family Meals: Ensuring nutritious food is accessible to all, regardless of budget.

• Intergenerational Workshops: From healthy cooking to storytelling, designed to bridge the gap between ages.  

What’s Brewing: Carisips & Community

We are particularly excited about our upcoming collaboration with Carisips. Known for their bold, heritage-inspired beverages, Carisips will be hosting a series of free workshops at the cafe on Fridays. These sessions aren’t just about delicious drinks; they are a celebration of culture and entrepreneurship, bringing local flavors to the forefront of Lambeth Walk.

How You Can Help

Operating in one of Lambeth’s most deprived areas, our hub is a vital lifeline, but we cannot do it alone. We are currently fundraising to cover our first year of rent and to sustain our Hub Manager role, which coordinates the free activities and volunteer training that keep our doors open.

Your donation directly supports a space where no one eats alone and every young person has a place to be.

Please donate today to help us nourish Lambeth Walk, one community connection at a time.
