Mission Statement
LGK
in the community as we are known is a charitable organisation that uses food as a vehicle to assist the needy. Established in 2014 from a pop up traditional Greek taverna we have since then grown to be a recognised 3rd sector organisation that runs a series of projects and fundraisers to assist people suffering from serious chronic and life threatening conditions. We work with young people and the community at large to address wellbeing, health inequalities, food poverty and social cohesion. We also explore record, preserve and share the individual and collective heritage of groups and individuals.
ABOUT US
LGK in the community which stands for Lakis Greek kitchen in the community was set up in memory of the late Lakis Panayiotou who lost his battle with small cell lung cancer in November 2012. Lakis used the power of food to unite people and feed the needy.
LAKIS GREEK KITCHEN
is a 6-8 week pop up traditional Greek taverna which happens once a year on Saturdays only 5pm-11pm. The money raised is donated to various heart-warming causes.The village style Greek taverna is based around a traditional clay oven with the LGK signature dish ‘Lamb Kleftiko’.
