4Lunch is an award-winning social enterprise that runs cookery courses, food business training and catering at various locations in Greater Manchester.
Established in 2013 by Amy Win, 4Lunch is on a mission to create social change within local communities by unlocking the power of food.
We work with many organisations to bring our cookery experiences and training opportunities to people throughout the region.
Food is a universal experience that brings people together. Learning to cook and share is a fundamental part of living a healthy and balanced life.
Food also offers many employment and enterprise opportunities. We aim to inspire our students to think about food in creative and innovative ways.
The 4Lunch vision is for people to be able to use the power of food to improve their health, wellbeing and life opportunities.

4Lunch was started by Amy Win whilst she was studying Politics and Economics at the University of Manchester.
During this time, Amy volunteered at a local charity supporting disadvantaged young people.
At the same time, street food markets were popping up all over the city.
Putting 2+2 together, Amy set up 4Lunch, a social enterprise that would offer work opportunities to young people. 4Lunch now offers cookery courses, training and volunteer placements to groups of all ages, having worked with hundreds of people since 2013.
Her social enterprise work has since received a number of high-profile awards, including funding from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Big Lottery and Unltd, and becoming a Young British Foodie Finalist 2016.
Thank you to all of our supporters, funders and partners!
