Lily's Social Kitchen, Canterbury

Using the power of food, our mission is to bring people together. To do this, we offer employment and work experience to those who are often overlooked. That could be because they are homeless, have mental health problems, have a learning disability or may be adjusting to life after prison.

Our goal is to give enough training to our staff members to eventually have Lily’s be self- sufficient. This means it will be 100% run by those who are vulnerable…HOW GREAT WOULD THAT BE!

This also gives the opportunity to our staff to choose whether they stay with Lily’s, or use the skills they have learned with us to find a job elsewhere!

Our bistro in Canterbury City Centre serves breakfast, lunch and cake. Its also available for rental.

We also offer professional catering for events, parties and weddings.

Please email andy@lilyscommunity.org for quotes and menus depending on what your event may be. We also provide corporate catering to businesses such as lunches and event catering

All our activities are populated by a community of trainees, apprentices and volunteers.
