Oca Community Kitchen CIC run a community shop in which users could acquire low cost surplus food donated by Felix Project and some household items. In the year Oca served more than 1000 individual users, most of them local residents, and low income households from BAME backgrounds. This way Oca is not only contributing to tackle food poverty and navigate the cost of living crisis, but also has a positive environmental impact The community shop operations is supported by a group of over 15 volunteers, most of them local residents and refugees and asylum seekers. In addition to the community shop, the organisation run a series of cooking workshops, for adults and children and English lessons. This workshops answered to a concrete request of regular service users and project volunteers. Finally, last year, the organisation put in place a Christmas gift campaign, bringing presents for children of the Latin American Community.
The company’s stakeholders are residents of the London Borough of Lambeth, Southwark and Haringey, low- income residents, English and Spanish speaking residents from Black and Minority Ethnic background and particularly focused on the Latin American and Hispanic community. Lambeth Council has been the most responsive Local Authority, awarding the organisation a grant to run regular healthy cooking lessons for the local community starting April 2025. OCA Community Kitchen was founded on 19 March 2021, and has been supporting the BAME, Latin American and Hispanic Community in London. From conversations and community engagement from the community shop activity, we started receiving data to support that the Latin American and Hispanic community was lacking in English Speaking and Writing skills in order to foster their social inclusion in London, in particular in the employment area, as well as experienced high levels of social isolation.
