The sustainability of our charity is at the forefront of our minds. We do not charge for the projects and programmes we offer our young people and so we run our social enterprise to generate income to support our charitable activities. In addition, it provides a social impact by offering employment opportunities to young people.
The Inkwell offers meeting rooms for hire and internal and external catering services. Furthermore, our purpose built Community Kitchen offers a unique opportunity for groups of all ages to come together, learn new skills and build confidence whilst celebrating a love of food.
All profits generated by The Inkwell supports our work with young people and the activities we offer at The Warehouse @EYC.
