Intro...
History of Fifteen – why did Jamie start it?
Fifteen is a restaurant group that uses the magic of food to give unemployed young people a chance to have a better future.
Founded by Jamie Oliver in 2002, Fifteen London is the flagship restaurant and training ground for young apprentice chefs. Two other locations have followed the same inspirational model: Fifteen Amsterdam and Fifteen Cornwall.
Each restaurant redirects its profits into individual registered charities. The money raised funds unique apprentice programmes, in order to train the next generation of professional chefs.

Who are we...
Fifteen’s Apprentice Programme is part of a charity called the The Jamie Oliver Foundation (no.1094536). Its mission is to educate and empower people through food. This is achieved through teaching, training and employment, and also by making good clear information available to as many people as possible.
Under the Foundation there are three other charity activities:1.Jamie’s ‘Feed Me Better’ School Dinners campaign 2.Jamie’s Ministry of Food3. Kitchen Garden project
The charity also aims to set up a US-based subsidiary - the ‘Jamie Oliver Food Foundation’ - which will oversee a fourth activity called ‘Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution’.
End of 2009 – 329 students recruited / 70% graduated / 91% of work as Chefs
Fifteen’s reach is greater than the stats – every Friday recruitment day / advice for social services, job centre, local authorities
