The Larder Cook School

THE LARDER COOK SCHOOL WE ENDEVOUR TO CHANGE LIVES THROUGH FOOD. Registered as a charity and Company Ltd by guarantee under the name of The Larder West Lothian we aim to relieve poverty and re-engage individuals and communities with food. We have a passion for food and cooking and want to see an end to food poverty in West Lothian and beyond. We also believe that everyone has the right to reach their full potential and recognise that some people need a bit more time and support to do that; food is a great tool to help achieve change in your life. We operate The Larder Cook School as a social enterprise and opened our bespoke cook school in October 2014. This means that we run as a business but all profits made are re-invested into our training and employability programmes; helping the most disadvantaged young people move in to work in the hospitality sector. WE HAVE TWO PRIORITIES: - To support young people experiencing multiple barriers into work in the hospitality sector - To get as many people in West Lothian cooking their own food
