Grub Club – Cookery Club for young people aged 11 (Year 7 equivalent) to 25!
We are running this as an exciting project in partnership with the brilliant team at Brighton & Hove Food Partnership, who bring a host of expertise in cookery and food literacy. Extratime staff will be available to provide support to young people who might need it to participate.
Each week the group will prepare and share a meal together with care and support from an experienced team. Young people will be supported to;
- Make new friends & have fun
- Learn new skills & build confidence
- Try new foods & enjoy healthy choices
To ensure they are able to get the best from the club, the eligibility criteria for the club means each young participant will;
- Be aged between 11 (Year 7 equivalent) and 25 years old
- Have an interest in cooking and /or food
- Be able to follow basic instruction
- Have good fine motor skills (be able to hold a knife, scissors, cooking utensils)
