Cooking activities
Nikki Dravers • May 15, 2024
On Monday 25th March, our Food Partnership networking event focussed on community cooking, organisations teaching food skills and cooking on a budget. We had some excellent discussions and positive networking. Lunch was served up by chef Trevor, who runs St Chad’s Community Kitchen.
20 organisations involved with teaching cooking skills gathered to share what works, what the challenges are, and what resources they can share. Organisations shared tips and ideas to equip them to run more activities, more effectively.
Organisations attending included:
- St Chad's Community Kitchen
- Nourish
- HAF/ Brighten the Day
- Men's Pie Club
- Gateshead Football Club Foundation
- Gateshead Community Organisation
- Peace of Mind
- St Chad's Community Centre
