Migrateful is a charity supporting asylum seekers, refugees & migrants on their journey to integration. We do this by preparing them to lead cookery classes where they share their traditional cuisine and culture with public & private groups.

- Helping with set up of the space & cooking stations
- Welcoming participants & ensuring they enjoy themselves
- Keeping stations clear & clean by removing food scraps
- Cleaning equipment
- Washing up & helping facilitator pack up
