Rumi's Kitchen

Rumi’s Kitchen is a weekly community kitchen for those sleeping rough and other vulnerable people in North-West London, serving quality meals and providing a safe welcoming environment. We seek primarily to help people overcome the isolation and loneliness often experienced in their situation, which can act as a significant barrier to their rehabilitation and reintegration into communities. Through Rumi’s Kitchen, individuals are encouraged to form much-needed positive relationships and new support networks.

We like to feed people at Rumi’s Kitchen, but we are certainly about more than just offering a hot meal to those who come in off the street. The respect and dignity with which we treat our guests, makes Rumi’s Kitchen unique. We welcome everyone as if they were guests in our own homes: with warmth and a freshly cooked meal. We sit with them, break bread with them, get to know them and let them get to know us.

​

We are currently operating on a weekly basis and regularly catering for over 100 individuals, yet we are determined to do more. We would love to run regularly and in other locations, and also to expand into running welfare projects for our guests.
