The Clink launches event catering delivery service

Clink Events, a part of the Clink Charity, has launched a catering delivery service called Catered by Clink.

Initially available within London and the Home Counties, Catered by Clink supports people in prison and those at risk of offending.

All Catered by Clink’s bespoke catering options are created fresh at the Clink Charity’s new home in Herne Hill, south London, where people on day release from prison can develop new skills and gain industry-relevant NVQ hospitality qualifications from City & Guilds.

Clink Events and Catered by Clink also works with young people who could be at risk of offending, through work experience, training and support, partnering with major London venues.

The service catered at 218 events in 2024 and provided 28,520 training hours for potentially vulnerable young adults, thanks to its partnerships with organisations such as Centrepoint.

Jonny Whitfield, managing director of Clink Events, said: “As well as receiving the highest quality breakfast and lunch platters, cakes and canapes, our Catered by Clink customers can be assured that they are helping people leaving prison, and those who could be at risk of offending, to choose a different path.

“As a charity, we have always been determined to marry our passion for fantastic food with the life-changing opportunities a career in hospitality can provide. We know there is fellowship in food and we are excited to help more of our students discover it through Catered by Clink.”
