Community Vegan market
2019-02-23 10:00 - 14:00 | Wycombe Arts Centre, Desborough Road, High Wycombe, HP11 2PU, United Kingdom
Khepera’s Veg-u-cation programme is about making vegan food & products accessible, and helping the community to make healthy lifestyle choices.
Profits from the vegan market, are invested in OUR COMMUNITY. Helping families on low incomes, those with health conditions (who would not be able to afford private support) learn about eating for health on a budget.
At Khepera we travel around to community spaces educating families on low incomes of the importance of a healthy diet via fun interactive sessions & cooking lessons. We teach about the workings of the body, which improves self awareness and self confidence – which then starts trickling into other areas of their lives
Funds will help us to expand this into condition specific courses, enabling us to gather vital statistics in order to support people referred from their GP!

Fairtrade fortnight
2019-02-25 - 2019-03-10
The people who grow the food we take for granted can’t always feed their own families. Fairtrade can support farmers and workers to put food on the table for their families by harnessing the power of a Fairtrade breakfast. During Fairtrade Fortnight, we will be encouraging campaigners to inspire Big Fairtrade Breakfasts in their community – and wake others up to the challenges facing farmers and workers.
