OUR STORY

From a pop-up taverna to a community movement

Established in 2014, we originally started as a pop-up traditional Greek taverna. Since then we have grown into a recognised third-sector organisation that runs a series of community-impacting projects and fundraisers — assisting people in our community through the love of food and heritage.

Our Strategy stands on four pillars

Everything we do is rooted in food and heritage — a framework that guides our projects, our fundraising and our community over the next four years.

#Love Food

We support, we educate, we entertain through our love of food.

#Celebrate Heritage

We collect, we save, we share, we teach heritage.

#Be Creative

Tell Stories, create art, produce films, celebrate migration, save history.

#Learn Digital

Sharing our knowledge, expertise and experiences in a hybrid learning environment.
