July sessions
Join us for a talk with Anjula Devi, an Indian chef and author known for her powerful blend of connection, empowerment, and storytelling through food. Anjula has captivated audiences with her recipes and the personal stories behind them, and we are delighted that she is delivering this session as part of Carers UK's celebration of South Asian Heritage month, for which the 2026 theme is 'Unity in Diversity'. Beyond her role as a chef and author, Anjula is passionate about raising awareness of carers, who she feels are the unsung heroes in our society. Having been a carer for her sister for over 20 years, she understands first-hand the reality of caring: the constant worry, sleepless nights, endless paperwork, and the unrelenting cycle of health appointments. Her lived experience drives her commitment to ensuring carers are appropriately recognised, supported, and given the respite and compassion they so deeply deserve. Book here
