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.
We’re thrilled to welcome the latest additions to our team, Tabitha, Papaya and Josiah, our Graduate Interns, and Helen, the latest member of our cookery team. We can’t wait for them to showcase their experience, expertise and enthusiasm! Let’s get to know them a little better…
“Before this group, I felt like a nobody. Now I feel like somebody.” This was the answer 8-year-old Evie gave when asked about the difference our Activity-Based Mentoring Group had made for her. This sums up for us why we do what we do. Everyone deserves to know that they matter, whatever their circumstances and challenges.
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.
