June 8th -
We’re very excited to tell you that we are going to be on National TV! Tomorrow (Thursday 9 June) we will be running a special Family Cookery Club with one of our partnering schools (Parklands Primary School in East Leeds) which will be part of Channel 4’s Steph’s Packed Lunch (starting at 12:30pm). The Cookery Club will be run by a guest celebrity chef and the programme will be focusing on the impact of the cost of living rises and resulting food poverty. We’re particularly pleased to be part of this because food poverty and poor nutrition (and the resulting long-term impacts on health) have become one of the challenges we are most focused on alleviating through our cookery clubs.
Earlier this month we had the privilege of hosting the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Member of Parliament for Leeds West and Pudsey, Rachel Reeves, at a showcase of the work we do to empower families.
“You saved Christmas for us,” Gemima said as we handed over four gift-packed stockings for her kids and three large bags of food.
We were thrilled and honoured to receive this prestigious award as part of HM The King’s Birthday Honours in November last year.
