Slow Cooker Appeal Update
We are immensely grateful to everyone who has contributed to our slow cooker appeal.
December 20th -
As the Christmas holidays begin we look back on what’s been a fantastic term for our family cooking clubs. We have been able to expand our volunteer base with the help of some new parent volunteers who have got to know us while attending the club as beneficiaries.
We have also seen several Food and Nutrition students from Leeds University join the cooking team recently. They have really enjoyed working with parents and children in the group, and have even begun to introduce their own recipes!
The new lentil lasagne and home-made garlic bread recipe was a great success (see photos below) and it was exciting to add another vegetarian option to the menu.
Feedback from the clubs has been as positive as ever, with parents reporting that their children are much more engaged in cooking at home as a result, and keen to try new foods.
Here are some of the things that people have said…
‘“My son now cooks every night with me” ”
“Fantastic club!! We have enjoyed every minute! It’s because of this club that my daughter now loves cooking”
“My daughter has asked for cookery equipment rather than toys for Christmas!”
We are immensely grateful to everyone who has contributed to our slow cooker appeal.
What a great term it has been at FFL! We have been busy delivering our various groups and programmes around Leeds. Our families have loved coming along to the groups and have benefitted hugely from the activities and support from the FFL team.
We are so grateful for the amazing support given to us by Tall, the digital creative agency based in Leeds. Earlier this year they redeveloped our website for us, and we are thrilled with the results!
This term we have been thrilled to start our latest Enhanced Volunteer Programme!
