One of our residents living in supported housing for younger people, Humayun, won the 2019 Dolmio Professional and Uncle Ben’s Foodservice Student Catering Challenge. We're delighted for Humayun and asked him about the competition in a video interview.


 Humayun is in his second year studying to become a chef at Westminster Kingsway College and lives in one of our supported housing schemes for young people. After sending a recipe into the competition, he was invited to cook at the finals in Birmingham in front of professional chefs and a large audience, The whole event was filmed and Humayun was excited to win "Best Children's Dish" for his creative plate: chicken lollipops. He won a cash prize and will hold the title for two years.
 
Last summer we chatted with Humayun and his Support Worker Stella Johnson to find out more about life in one of our supported housing schemes for young people.
