We empower and celebrate refugees + migrants on their journey to integration by supporting them to run cookery classes.
About us
Migrateful helps refugees and asylum seekers on their journey to employment and independence and promotes integration. It runs cookery classes led by migrant chefs struggling to integrate and access employment due to legal and linguistic barriers. The cookery classes provide ideal conditions not just for learning English and building confidence, but also for promoting contact and cultural exchange with the wider community. We train our chefs through weekly workshops, taking them on a journey from “passionate home cook” to “confident cookery class teacher.” Sessions begin with English conversation or confidence building exercises. Participants then take turns teaching the rest of the group how to cook their traditional cuisine, before all sitting down together to share the meal they have prepared. Participants build connections and work on further developing their English. When our chefs feel ready, they deliver evening cookery classes to paying customers, supported by Migrateful. These paid classes take place in cafes, or customers can host a class in their own home for themselves and their friends. Each class lasts around three hours, with an average of ten paying participants per class. Since Migrateful was founded in July 2017, we have run over 200 cookery classes with 2,000 participants and now have 16 chefs from Iran, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, Albania, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Ecuador and Cuba teaching their cuisines regularly.

We love to see everyone all smiles and getting stuck in! Lovely to meet the team – we hope to cook with you again soon 😊 💜
The Cero Procurement and Project Delivery Team recently spent the evening enjoying a cookery class with a difference! The team visited Migrateful, a charity that runs cookery classes taught by refugees and migrants. To date, Migrateful have welcomed over 40,000 people to attend almost 4,000 classes taught by 92 trained immigrant chefs. These classes are designed to celebrate and share culture, build a sense of belonging, increase employability and help share some incredible recipes with would-be chefs such as us! We had an incredible time cooking – and eating – as a team, and learnt some delicious new recipes from Turkmenistan. Huge thank you to our chef, Guncha, who brought her expertise, patience and humour to the evening!

Thank you to Migrateful for a fantastic cookery class yesterday! This charity does wonderful work by employing refugees to deliver enlightening cookery classes, as well as to provide them with training and skills development to enable them to integrate into the UK employment market. The team and I had a great time learning to cook some Palestinian dishes with our chef Amna.

Looks fantastic – well done to you all 🤩 👏 So pleased you enjoyed Meriam's class!
Most of entitledto has been on a team social this afternoon. Our cooking skills were tested as we created a six course meal to share at the wonderful Migrateful cookery school in London. Even if we do say so ourselves, the food was delicious, mostly thanks to our teacher Meriam and all the staff at Migrateful. Such a super, social way to end the week!

Looks delicious – well done to the team 🌟 We hope to see you all again in the future!
Thank you - to the women in the Political Risk and Credit market who joined us for dinner - and to Chef Yasemin and Migrateful, for a wonderful evening. We learnt to wrap vine leaves, make dumplings and pumpkin for pudding! Migrateful is a charity that helps migrants on their journey to employment and integration. Harnessing the power of food, they bridge divides and foster unity. Inspiring stuff! #Politicalrisk #insuranceclaims #womenininsurance

✨ Want to Make a Real Impact This Christmas Season? ✨ I recently had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with Migrateful, an organization that empowers refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants through cooking classes. 🌍🍴 It was such a rewarding experience . Not only did I get to assist these amazing chefs while they shared their culture and food, but I also learned so much about their inspiring journeys and resilience. With Christmas just around the corner, it’s a perfect time to reflect on how we can all contribute a little good - whether it’s volunteering, donating, or simply offering help to someone in need. Small acts but big difference 💙 If you're looking for a way to give back and learn more about other cultures, I can’t recommend Migrateful enough. 🙏 #Volunteering #GivingBack #ChristmasSpirit
