• Community food organisations
• Food-focused social enterprises

Together, we’ll investigate how food can drive connection, sustainability, and collaboration — and how we can build a stronger, more inclusive food ecosystem across Hackney.

Leveraging AI
Leveraging AI - Building tools that work for you! One of our most popular workshops, back by popular demand!
"A pragmatic session that created something useful with a responsible take on AI."
Maya D'Amour - The Power Project
"This session has been super useful! I already use ChatGPT, but Paul’s GPT chat for our business has been a game changer. I’ve been using it since the workshop, and I know it’ll be really helpful... Me and my partner/co-founder aren’t native English speakers, so having this kind of support is really valuable."
