Let's introduce you to Blend Culinary Foundation
Blend Culinary Foundation
Behind every great meal at Cutlery Works, there’s a deeper mission: A belief that food can change lives. That’s where Blend Culinary Foundation (BCF) comes in: the not-for-profit arm of Blend Family and the force behind our purpose-led work in Sheffield.
As a registered Community Interest Company (CIC), BCF transforms intention into impact. We empower independent culinary talent, support food access for all, and build inclusive, community-driven kitchens that celebrate diversity and connection.
Our mission is clear: to use food as a positive social force. From tackling food poverty and promoting food education to hosting cultural dining experiences, every initiative is rooted in making a difference-plate by plate.
Supporting Our Community
Our mission is simple: use food as a force for good.
While there are no current plans for a cookery school at Cutlery works, our commitment to Blend Culinary Foundation remains strong-through paid partnerships, meaningful events, and outreach that truly matters.

Based in our purpose-built kitchens on the 1st floor of Cambridge Street Collective in Sheffield and on the ground floor of Alfred Works in Birmingham, we are a modern space that runs a wide array of cooking classes. From our now-infamous Cooking & Cocktails (our Friday night social class) to our Bottomless Brunch classes on a Saturday afternoon, we have something for everyone.
