Support Our CIC Kitchen: Nourishing Health & Hope
Birkenhead, Merseyside, United Kingdom
Aim: Help us create a community kitchen & café to provide nourishing food, cooking classes, and support for mental & physical wellbeing.
Imagine a place where the power of food transforms lives. A place where healing isn’t just about medicine, but about community, connection, and nourishing the body and soul with food that fuels both health and hope.
This is what we aim to create at NouYou. We are a non-profit, community-driven organisation dedicated to supporting the mental and physical wellbeing of the people in Wirral and surrounding areas. Many of our clients are referred to us through the NHS because they face daily struggles that go beyond just medical treatment — they need more. They need holistic, sustainable support to help them thrive in all areas of life.
Our goal is simple yet powerful: to provide life-changing, nutritious food and support to people who need it the most. But to do this, we need your help.
We are raising £30,000 to refurbish a kitchen and create a café that will serve as a haven for those who need it. A space where people can gather, find comfort, and nourish themselves with wholesome food — food that heals, sustains, and builds a sense of belonging.
Why This Matters
For many in our community, access to healthy food is a daily challenge. It's not just about providing meals — it’s about creating a space where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to take control of their health. Through our café and kitchen, we will offer:
- Nutrient-rich smoothies, cacao drinks, mushroom coffees, soups, and snacks — crafted with love and care to support both mind and body, helping to reduce stress, improve mood, and boost energy.
- Supper clubs and monthly food events — offering more than just a meal, but an opportunity to come together, connect, and be part of a community that cares.
- Cooking classes — giving people the tools to take charge of their own health, learn to cook nourishing meals, and pass on this knowledge to others.
- A daily café service — providing a regular space where those in need of support can come to refuel with affordable, nourishing food.
The people who will benefit most from this project are often the ones who feel invisible. Many of them struggle with mental health, physical illness, or social isolation. But with your generosity, we can change that. Your support will give us the tools to create not just a kitchen, but a safe space for healing and empowerment.
Why We Need Your Support
We are asking for your support to make this dream a reality. Every contribution, big or small, brings us one step closer to creating this vital community resource.
- A donation of £50 will provide a week’s worth of ingredients for our soup kitchen, serving nourishing, comforting meals to those in need.
- A donation of £100 will help fund one of our cooking classes, teaching individuals how to take care of their own health through food and nutrition.
- A donation of £500 will contribute to the equipment and renovations needed to create a fully functional kitchen, giving us the foundation to run this much-needed service.
Every penny raised will go directly into building the kitchen, setting up the café, and creating the space for community and healing. We can’t do it without you. This is a chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of people who are struggling, and we ask you to consider contributing at whatever level feels right for you.
Together, we can build a place of hope, support, and nourishment for everyone in need.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your support can help us provide not just food, but also a lifeline to so many people who need it.
