About Khepera CIC

Khepera means transformation — and our mission is to help members of the community improve their health and address issues affecting their wellbeing naturally. We are a small community company based in High Wycombe. We organise community gleaning days with schools and community members where we harvest surplus food from local farms and distribute this to food banks. As well as this, we collaborate with Empower to Cook CIC and have opened the Community Cooking & Wellbeing Kitchen.

Our goals include:

• Increasing knowledge and awareness of healthy living

• Empowering individuals and families to take control of their health

• Supporting people to make positive life changes through food education and practical skills

• Expanding the gleaning community to reduce food waste and increase access to fresh vegetables

• Building a community around sustainability and healthy lifestyle

Interested in getting involved?

Let us know you’d like to be part of the volunteer pool, and we’ll be in touch with upcoming opportunities. Your time and energy will help us cultivate a space that supports health, learning, and community connection.
