This time on the Food Stories Podcast, we are sharing the story of one of our community food members, Emmie's Kitchen. The charity was set up to support parents staying at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital while their children are being looked after there.
The charity was set up by the family of Emmie, who, when she was being treated for leukaemia, identified a need to support the families of other sick children. What started as an operation to cook meals for those parents, has developed into a weekly takeaway delivery (on a Friday night) as well as wellbeing events for families and special Christmas goody bags too.
Emmie finished her treatment in 2019, but the family are committed to keeping Emmie's Kitchen going. As part of their Friday night offering, they give parents snack bags to keep them going over the weekend - much of the food in those bags comes from FareShare Greater Manchester.
In this episode, we visit the Emmie's Kitchen team on one of their Friday night takeaway evenings and sit down for a chat with Eve and Jacqueline Naraynsingh, Emmie's Mum and Gran.
