Our client Home Kitchen – the social impact restaurant has been named amongst The Big Issue New Year’s list of all those who most likely to change the world for the better in the months ahead – Home Kitchen are Big Issue Changemakers 2023.
Paul McNamee , editor of the Big Issue, describes the list as…
“A celebration of the people and organisations who have focused on making things better for all of us. Selfless, frequently unheralded (though sometimes a little better known) they have noticed something that needs doing, that which lifts others before themselves, and rather than wait and moan, they do it.”
What a fabulous achievement – and it’s only January – At Asociat, we’re really proud to help Home Kitchen shape the rest of the journey in 2023.
You can read the full details, and see all the other Changemakers here. They include teachers who, without fuss, started a food bank in their school and a man on the front line in Ukraine risking his life to help those who have lost everything due to the war.
There are a few famous people in there too. Mick Lynch, who probably needs no introduction as the head of the RMT Union, is acknowledged in the Employment section of the Changemakers 2023 list, for his work as the figurehead and even-handed spokesperson for workers across Britain who feel left behind. Seen by some as a divisive figure (but not by us), he’s nevertheless changed attitudes to striking workers.
Reading about all the changemakers, and the work they are doing will restore your faith in human nature. Home Kitchen appears in the Housing and Homeless category in the list.
