SERC staff cook up a storm for those in need

South Eastern Regional College (SERC) has recently secured a £1000 grant from Food for Life Get Togethers which is run by the Soil Association and funded through the Community Fund to help with the emergency response for those struggling for food during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Teams from SERC’s Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, Hospitality and Catering and student company Golden Memories are working to help meet some needs in the local community.

The funding will be used to purchase ingredients to make nutritious meals for vulnerable people during this crisis which will be prepared in the College’s training kitchens by catering lecturers and support staff.

Paul Mercer Deputy Head of School for Hospitality, Management, Tourism and Languages said: “Our aim is to produce, cook and chill food that can be reheated at home. The food will be distributed by our local partners, who will identify those who are in need, including vulnerable people in the community who are self-isolating who do not have a family member or neighbour who can deliver shopping to their doorstep, and those individuals who are financially struggling.”
