Our member of the month for November is Munch CIC! Munch are based in Winchester and create bespoke events catering for weddings, parties, corporate lunches, private and charity events. As a social enterprise, all profits generated by their events catering are used to support their community programmes! They also run a Community Café situated within the thriving community hub at Unit 12 in Winnall. Their changing weekly menu offers healthy, affordable food which can be taken away or enjoyed in the Café, or lovely Community Garden.
 
They provided stellar catering at our most recent SSE graduation, which you can find out about via this link, and it is clear how passionate Munch are about excellent service and good quality, healthy food!
 
Every penny of their profits goes towards supporting their Community Cooking Workshops. Their Community Cooking initiative is a structured programme offering fun, fully inclusive workshops for families with children, teens and adults with learning disabilities. You can learn more about their Community Cooking Workshops via this link.
They run sessions both online and in person, with the aim to take the fear out of cooking and help people to develop the skills and confidence they need to cook from scratch, build a healthy relationship with food, strengthen financial resilience and waste less.
