In the spirit of community, connection, and the joy that food brings, The Hunslet Club is excited to announce the launch of ‘Food Stories’, a initiative designed to bring people together to share stories, memories, and experiences—all centred around the shared love of food.
Food Stories is a unique opportunity for young people to gather in a welcoming environment at The Hunslet Club and engage in meaningful conversations. Participants will reflect on their favourite meals, cherished recipes, and the way food has shaped their lives. The initiative invites everyone to share their personal food stories—from childhood meals to family traditions—and explore how eating habits and food choices have evolved over time.
What to Expect:
- Four engaging sessions held in a comfortable, inviting space.
- Free refreshments provided at every session.
- An opportunity to meet new people, form connections, and bond over food.
- A space where young people can share their unique stories and learn from others, creating a sense of belonging and community.
Whether reminiscing about a childhood dish or discovering the history behind a family recipe, Food Stories is designed to inspire reflection, bridge connections, and create a sense of belonging. This initiative is not just about food—it’s about the powerful role food plays in shaping our memories, experiences, and relationships.
Stay Connected: Food Stories will begin in the New Year and take part at The Hunslet Club, and we invite all young people aged year 8 and above to join us. For more information, including start dates and themes, please stay up to date via social media or for more information and to sign up please email zcreasser@hunsletclub.org.uk.
About Food Stories: Food Stories is a free community initiative focused on connecting people through the shared experience of food. By bringing individuals together to share stories, memories, and traditions, Food Stories aims to strengthen community bonds and celebrate the rich cultural tapestry that food creates through interactive sessions.
