Full description
To fund a Cultural Cookery Group to increase opportunities for cultural exchange and integration as well as improve knowledge and skills relating to healthy eating. The grant will support the delivery of two 16 week blocks of cultural cookery training, with a total of 26 participants. The target groups are vulnerable and isolated women from the local area; women from a BME background, including asylum seekers and refugees living in the South East of Glasgow. It will address the lack of opportunities for women from different cultural backgrounds to meet and socialise and those with young children to access education and training due to childcare and lack of knowledge and skills to prepare fresh healthy meals at home.
