We are pleased to announce further funding has been allocated to run the cooking club with additional classes for 2016.
What is the cooking club?
This is ran in partnership with Lucie Armstrong, our Professional Cookery Lecturer of New College Lanarkshire and Lesley Marshall. On its pilot run in 2015 we had 2 sessions where our members of our child group (12+) got the chance to further their experience of cooking in a realistic 'home like' environment. This course helps to further enhance independent living skill, confidence and social skills. The kids got the make both sweet treats such as shortbread whilst learning about the good and bad nutritional qualities of certain foods and how imrpovements can be made to suit the needs of different groups of people.
ALl children learn about hygiene and safety in the kitchen prior to commencing activites and are supported at all times with our additional volunteers. We hope to run this course on a quarterly basis with dates to be confirmed.
