Company Drinks

Company Drinks is a community space and social enterprise based in Barking and Dagenham, where we make drinks with and for each other. Company Drinks started out in 2014 to bring people back together through the act of picking and reconnecting with local green spaces and nearby countryside.

Company Drinks is now a co-working space and an expanding network of users, collaborators and partners, who come together to pick, grow, make, learn, unlock and share the resources and knowledge around us.

ERBS 

Mikael has become a 'Detoxication Specialist' and has been studying/practicing for the past 10+ years botanicals, nutrition, intracellular detoxication and investing into a plant-based/raw food lifestyle, so we came to a conclusion; some people want a quick fix - only look good externally (blame Instagram haha) and not invest in/prioritise their health.

Made in Hackney 

Made In Hackney opened its doors in 2012 as the UK’s first fully vegan community cookery school and charity.

We collaborate with communities to showcase and develop skills, knowledge and inspiration to grow, cook and eat more plants.

The kitchen started as a response to global and local crisis – health inequalities, food access and climate change. These interconnected issues drive our mission to bring about positive change in the areas of community, health and environment with delicious, culturally varied, nutritious plant-based food at the centre of all we do.
