Hey everyone, I’m Patrick Campbell , 33. I’m a chef, entrepreneur and youth practitioner. I co-own a Caribbean fusion catering company, working across events, festivals, private dining and fine-dining experiences. During the week, I work with some of London’s most vulnerable and high-risk young people, supporting them away from exploitation, violence and the streets. I also use my background as a chef to teach young people how to cook and show them that hospitality can be a genuine career path. My journey is personal. I came from the roads myself, and Jamie Oliver and his Fifteen programme gave me a second chance when I needed one. That opportunity helped change the direction of my life. Now I’m working towards combining both sides of my experience — food and youth work — to create opportunities, skills and pathways for young people who might otherwise be written off. I’d love to connect with people in hospitality, events, festivals, youth services, social impact, property/investment and business who believe in creating opportunities and building something meaningful. Always open to connecting, collaborating and learning. 🤝🏾
