Transforming Lives,
One Meal At A Time

We are about much more than providing people with cooking skills, important though this is - our aim nothing less than transforming peoples lives!

Whether this is; a single mum struggling to provide the best food she can for her child on a low income, the young person leaving home and taking the first tentative steps in living independently but lacking the necessary skills, or the older person, living alone in sheltered accommodation, who feels that preparing nutritious meals for themselves is “just not worth it”.
