We're a Community Cooking Kit Host
The Friendly Food Club have created community cooking kits that include everything a group needs to host small group community cooking sessions, from induction hobs to measuring spoons.
We are proud to have been chosen as one of their community locations across Dorset. This means if you are a community-based group in Dorset or BCP, you can hire one of these free and collect them right here at the Henry Brown Centre.
