About us
Who we are
WK Foundation is a recently registered charity in South London, dedicated to reconnecting low income urban communities with sustainable food pathways, with the aim of breaking the cycles of poverty that are perpetuated by dysfunctional food systems. We are currently re-developing our holistic hospitality training programme called Nourish, for an October 2025 launch. Nourish provides hands on skills training, work experience and employment opportunities, as well as employment progression and support for trainees- who are young adults from low income context facing disadvantages. We work with young adults for up to 12 months. Our work is underpinned by our regenerative food practises and is run in accordance with our Christian faith values & principles.
Our board is female led (Chair & CEO are female), and consists of a clinical phschologist, social entrepreneur, trained counsellor & HR practicioner, and regenerative food specialist. We work in close partnership with social enterprise Well Kneaded who provide a space for training and the majority of the skills specific areas of customer service and pizza cheffing training.
Our culture and values
We are a friendly but professional team and board who prioritise relationship over transaction and have each others backs. As a board, we start meetings with a moment of reflection and prayer, record excellent minutes and stick (for the most part) to a pre-agreed agenda and schedule.
We are big on creating a culture that combines support and listening with action, accountability and forward movement and our vibe is positive, and inclusive.
We care deeply about connecting low income urban contexts with regenerative food systems
We work to equip young adults facing disadvantages to opportunities in which they will thrive and grow and believe that each of us needs to be equipped and given opportunities that lead us to thrive and grow.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
At Well Kneaded we believe that when people feel respected and included they can be more creative, innovative, and will thrive and grow. While we recognise that we have more work to do to advance diversity and inclusion, we’re investing to move our company forward.
