Across Europe, social inequality, rising living costs, and inflation are shaping a reality in which even basic needs are increasingly difficult to meet. Everyday life is becoming harder for most of us, as a result of policies that place profit above people’s lives.
In this context, collective kitchens are not here to fill the gaps left by the state, but to stand against the logic that creates them and to build, in practice, another way of organizing life. We choose to organize collectively, to cultivate solidarity, to be inspired, and to develop other forms of social reality that make us stronger.
In this framework, we are coming together for an international gathering of collective kitchens from across Europe, aiming to build stronger bonds of solidarity and to reinforce our struggles. The event will bring together solidarity kitchens from different European countries, presenting their work, the social and political contexts in which they operate, as well as their perspectives.

We had a visit from an Environmental Health Officer today for a hygiene inspection, and look what he left behind for us 🤩
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We’ve had a 4-star rating for a few years, and we’re delighted to have made it a 5. A special shout out today to cooking team leaders and our cleaning volunteers in particular – you’re doing an amazing job for the community, and you’re doing it *well*. 🙂

Have you got a car? 🚗

Do you want to use it for good? 🌱

Most of our deliveries are done by bike. But in rough weather like we’ve had recently, even our amazing intrepid volunteers can struggle to fill the shift rota. ☔️

Rough weather means our food is even more needed, because some people will be choosing between heating and eating when the temperatures get low. ❄️

You can sign up with us to do to ad hoc deliveries or even just a one-off - no regular weekly commitment. With strong wind forecast we need volunteers for tomorrow night 🌪️

Join us at cckitchen.uk or message for more info ❤️

It’s Christmas Day and we’re hard at work in the kitchen… but not because it’s Christmas. We’re hard at work because it’s Thursday, and we run every Thursday, Sunday and Tuesday no matter what.

If helping people with no conditions and strings attached appeals to you, come and join us. You can sign up for a one-off shift or come every week. We need people of all ages, talents, and backgrounds. We still need people this Sunday (28th Dec) as well as throughout January. Interested? Go to cckitchen.uk or text 07908661681.

To everyone in our community, we wish you a safe and peaceful festive season and we look forward to seeing you in 2026.

CCK IS FOR LIFE, NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS (...BUT WE DO ALSO NEED YOU FOR CHRISTMAS) ⭐️

CCK is operating on a normal schedule all throughout the festive period. That means we will be running our usual Thursday delivery shifts on 25th December and 1st January, as well as Sundays 21st and 28th December, and CCK eat-in Tuesdays on 23rd and 30th December.

We need cooking, cleaning and delivery volunteers for all these shifts apart from cooking on 25th December, which is now full! See the tables in the images for a summary, or get the most up to date info by signing up at cckitchen.uk and getting the links to our shift rotas.

Please help by spreading the word that we need cleaning and delivery volunteers on 25th December, and all volunteers on shifts throughout the period. We welcome people who’d like to volunteer one-off during the festive period, but we also really hope you’ll want to keep us for life - the need for us in Cambridge doesn’t stop when decorations come down.

If you can’t help us in person, why not donate from cckitchen.uk?
