Mince Stew and Pumpkin Pie at the Community Hub!

An older woman peeling potatoes at a table, surrounded by ingredients including carrots and potatoes. Two large pots of vegetable soup or stew are cooking on the table in front of her.

Last week, Cayton, Louise, and Lee supported a heartwarming day of cooking, where we made a mince stew and pumpkin pie. Everyone contributed, the food was delicious, and we had a great day!

Speak to your Community Support Worker about joining us next time!

Cooking Sessions at the Community Hub – Update

Here’s some fab pictures of one of our recent cooking sessions at the Community Hub!

After discussing with staff and service users, we’ve decided on the costs for our Wednesday sessions. From October onwards, there will be a £2 contribution toward the ingredients for our 2-course meals, which includes the main dish and a pudding.

On the white coffee table in front of her, there is a can of Sprite and some scattered papers. Another person is seated next to her, slightly out of view, wearing a blue shirt.

Refreshments will continue to be charged as they have been previously.

The man is wearing a checkered fleece jacket and grey sweatpants, holding a fork and plate with a meal covered in gravy. A floral pink bag rests on the floor next to the woman. In front of them is a white coffee table with a water bottle and various items.

Thank you to everyone who has participated in these sessions so far!
