Let's Get Cooking
With 99% of all respondents in a recent survey stating there was a need for a cooking skills programme, with nearly 90% of respondents were interested in getting involved the Let's Get Cooking programme is now in it's final stages. Developed by the School Foods Trust in partnership with the British
Nutrition Foundation, Prince's Trust, Improvement Foundation, Business
in the Community, Magic Outcomes and the Royal Society of Health, Let's
Get Cooking aims to have 4,000 cooking clubs in operation by the end of
2008.
Let's Get Cooking is a national programme developing cooking clubs to teach and inspire children and young people - and through them their parents and others in their local community - to prepare and cook good, healthy food. The aim is to create a new generation with a passion for good food. Schoolchildren will take the lead in establishing and running the clubs, with the support of parents, teachers and other interested community members. The programme for each club will be flexible enough to meet the needs of each individual, school and local community.
With £20million behind it this looks like it's going to be big in schools (and so it should be). You can sign up to show you interest, or find out more information, at the Let's Get Cooking website.
