St. Canice’s Kitchen began as a soup kitchen over 30 years ago and continues to provide support to men and women experiencing homelessness and social exclusion.

Collins and Turner are delighted to be delivering a Development Application for St. Canice Church to repurpose their existing buildings to grow and enhance their service to the community. These spaces include a new landscaped courtyard, commercial kitchen and dining area, community room, op-shop and meeting spaces.

People come for more than food; St Canice’s Kitchen fosters a community where people can find friendship, comfort, and respect. A place people can come to for support but one that they eventually leave, stronger and ready for their bright future. Positive mental health outcomes, improved social connection and pathways out of homelessness are key outcomes that are focused on.
