Celebrate Pride Month with RCK!

At RCK, we believe in celebrating diversity, inclusivity, and love in all its vibrant forms.

Our kitchen is not just a place where hot meals are prepared; it is a haven of love, understanding, and support. We believe in the power of food to nourish both the body and the spirit, and we extend that love to all who seek our services. As we come together to celebrate Pride Month, let us remember that solidarity knows no bounds.

Just as the LGBTQ+ community embraces diversity and unity, we aim to reflect these values in every meal we serve, infusing our meals with a kaleidoscope of vibrant coloured vegetables. From the radiant reds of tomatoes to the brilliant yellows of bell peppers, and the rich purples of eggplants, our kitchen is bursting with a spectrum of flavours and hues.

At RCK, We want everyone to feel safe, valued, and embraced, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. And with the help of our wonderful volunteers and supporters, we can create a world where everyone is celebrated and accepted for who they are.

Join us in spreading the message of love and acceptance, where we can make a difference, one meal at a time. Happy Pride Month!

Volunteer for RCK this Summer!

RCK are currently operating at four different locations across Calais and Dunkirk and are proud to have a dedicated team of volunteers who serve five days a week.

We're always seeking more volunteers to join our incredible team.

With greater support, we can expand our services and reach even more refugees by extending our operations to six or even seven days a week. Our goal is to serve as many living sites as possible, ensuring that we not only offer meals but also provide essential amenities like tea and filtered water. As the summer approaches and temperatures rise, these provisions become even more essential.

Please consider joining our amazing team and volunteering with us this summer!

Global Public Welfare Trust

RCK want to express huge gratitude to the Global Public Welfare Trust for their generous contributions of meat during the Ramadan period. The meat donations helped to provide nutritious meals to refugees who may have otherwise gone without, bringing comfort and a sense of community to those who are far from their homes and loved ones. The kindness and generosity of organisations like the Global Public Welfare Trust are essential in supporting the vital work of the Refugee Community Kitchen, and their on-going contributions are deeply appreciated by all those who benefit from their efforts.

Up-date from our co-founder Sam Jones

Hello good people, we would like to send out a message of heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all volunteers, fundraisers and supporters of RCK and its sister orgs.

You may well of have seen the horrific news about the recent tragic and unnecessary loss of a young life due to extremely inhumane and aggressive policing tactics, we are all deeply shocked and saddened by this serious incident, policies must change, people must come first.

The need to support the marginalised communities we currently help is as great as ever, whether on the streets of London or in the towns or countryside of northern France.

We're currently providing around 1300-1400 meals per day in Northern France and 180-240 per week in London, we are also distributing dates and fruit packs to help those who are observing Ramadan.

Our volunteers work tirelessly to provide thoughtful and compassionate support through food and water distribution daily, without your support and the immense ongoing efforts from our volunteers none of this would be possible.

Thank you all, a little compassion goes a long long way.

Have a great week xxx
