About My Sisters' Kitchen

At My Sisters' Kitchen we have the most amazing team of staff and volunteers, they undertake all sorts of work in the community and make a massive difference in people's lives. We encourage service users from our mother organisation (FISCUS NORTH) to volunteer with us, to help them increase their self-esteem and gain confidence. 

Due to the sensitive nature of our business, we have a women only board who help drive our social enterprise forward. Our board is made up of women from all walks of life. 

My Sisters’ Kitchen (MSK) was originally a project ran by FISCUS NORTH LIMITED (charity 1151656); this project has now been developed into a stand-alone social enterprise, commercially trading, community kitchen, bakery and training facility. Our mid to long term plans include our social enterprise being further developed into a larger Community Food Project including Café/Deli using ingredients from Fareshare and other food waste schemes. 

The mission of My Sisters’ Kitchen is to provide training, employment and sense of belonging to some of the most disadvantaged women in Sunderland. We work alongside women who live with ‘multiple disadvantage’, women experiencing domestic abuse are more than likely experiencing other forms of social and economic disadvantage such as poverty, unemployment, crime, poor mental health, and those leaving care. We work with these women for as long as they need our support, offering a safe space as they overcome barriers from lack of opportunity and social exclusion, preparation for employment, and guidance in building towards a positive future.
