We launched our very first Family Cookery Club back in 2017. Over the last 5 years these groups have developed into places where food poverty, poor nutrition and childhood obesity are tackled. The lives of families are literally transformed meal by meal.
Wow, it's our 5th birthday today! Where has the time gone? What an exciting time it's been! We've seen our activities develop and grow, gathered lots of amazing volunteers, and met loads of wonderful families.
Flourishing Families is supported by a wonderful and diverse team of volunteers. The generous gift of their time and expertise helps make the groups what they are – fun and welcoming spaces to learn and grow together.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of some of our supporters, we’ve been busy delivering 75 Christmas hampers to families in East and West Leeds in the last few days.
We want to tell you about Bruntwood and Sedulo – two businesses with bases in Leeds who have been heroic for our children this Christmas. But first, this is why what they’ve done is so important and so kind.
This year has started with a flourish at FFL, seeing a plethora of groups blossom throughout the term as the team have got to work in schools and community centres around Leeds.
We are really pleased to announce that Flourishing Families has taken on 3 new interns for the 2021/22 academic year!
With the success of Story Tellers Online and the Online Library, there was keen appetite to hold a Story Tellers group in person!
We had so much fun on Saturday celebrating the Euros 2020 with families in Beeston!
We want to say a huge thank you to Waitrose and John Lewis and Partners for some very generous donations.
We’d like to say a big thank you to local company Morley Glass for an extremely generous gift towards supporting families in Leeds.
A big thank you to the Two Ridings Community Foundation and their Bettys and Taylors Family Fund.
