00:02 - Welcome to our Kinda Kinda Kitchens event.

00:04 We at the Cumberland are absolutely delighted tonight

00:07 to be at this celebration and to be hosting it.

00:10 All of this tonight is a celebration

00:15 of making a difference and feeding people

00:18 because it's a basic human need

00:20 and it's the kinda thing to do.

00:22 - There's so many people here

00:25 from so many amazing organizations.

00:28 There's a real buzz and it's just so exciting

00:31 to get to speak to people who are making

00:33 such a difference in their communities.

00:35 I want them to feel like they're being celebrated.

00:38 I think it can be a thankless task

00:40 to be doing this important work

00:43 and I think tonight it's so important

00:44 that they feel like we're so happy that they're doing it

00:48 and that they get the thanks that they deserve.

00:51 - Tonight has been a wonderful celebration

00:56 and a brilliant acknowledgement

00:57 of what essentially is a series of small acts of kindness

01:02 that collectively makes a massive difference

01:05 and has a huge impact on our communities.

01:07 - It's such a big issue, food poverty,

01:12 especially around Carlisle in the area we are.

01:15 So it's just nice to be recognized

01:17 for the work that is being done

01:19 and what else still needs done.

01:20 - It's just wonderful.

01:21 It's nice to know that all our hard work is appreciated.

01:26 - It's one of those nights that I think everybody will leave

01:28 feeling hopefully a bit buoyed and energized

01:31 but definitely very humbled and inspired.
