Chefs for Compassion was founded in 2010 with the aim of providing an extra-curricular, experiential learning programme to intermediate students, with their parents, offering participants the chance to practice and expand their individual compassion. The Trust’s purpose is to promote the concept of pragmatic compassion in and towards ourselves and others, by emphasising the essential elements of compassion under pressure. At its heart the programme aims to foster compassion in children through their involvement in honouring and serving others.
