1. They specifically support families
with children of school age, as
they strongly believe that food
and nutrition from an early age in
a child's life is so very important
and they want to support parents
in making that a part of daily life,
through the services they provide.
The weekly meal service is for families
facing challenges such as illness,
financial or other and is a weekly meal
cooked and delivered once a week for
six weeks. All of their services are free
of charge to families and are funded by
charitable donations.
Community Cooking Programme
They have recently launched a new
service, the Community Cooking
Programme, with the aim of giving
parents the confidence and skills to
get back in the kitchen or to start
cooking from scratch. It comprises
a 5 week course teaching parents to
cook basic home-made meals on a
budget of £5.
The absence of Home Economics
classes in some schools, and skills
passed down through generations
combined with busy lives means a lot
of parents often don’t have the time,
confidence or inclination to prepare
a fresh meal in the home, which
is where Caring Cooks are really
making a difference.
The Community Cooking
Programme which started in
February 2015, has just completed
its first course which helped six
parents learn how to cook simple
but nutritious meals on a budget of
£5, such as risotto, macaroni cheese,
and beefy potato bake. Each week
the course allows for two meals to be
prepared and taken home for parents
to enjoy with their children, and to
then implement the skills they have
learned at home.
It has been very successful.
On completing the survey, the
students felt 100% better about
budgeting more effectively, and all
have increased their daily intake of
fruit and vegetables as a result. 66%
of students will now cook 2-4 times a
week from scratch, compared to 33%
before the course, and on a scale of
1-10, average scores for cooking skills
have increased from 5.6 to 8 and for
confidence from 4.5 to 7.
The next two courses are already full,
with more are planned for September
and November. The courses are held
on a Monday evening from 6.45pm at
Le Rocquier School. Caring Cooks
would like to hear from anyone who
would like to join either of these
courses, first come, first served!
“Nothing you do for your
children is ever wasted.”
~Samuel Greenberg

What They Said:
‘This is the best emotional intelligence system I have ever
come across.It really works for different types of people’~Dr.

transformed by FreeMind.’ ~Dr David Morris MBChB

‘Over the years I have listened to hundreds of personal
development recordings from across the whole industry.
The FreeMind Recordings are the best that I have ever
listened to and I do not say that lightly! The combination
of powerful, inspirational psychology and incredible music
is nothing short of genius!’ ~Christopher Adams, NLP
Master Practitioner & NLP Trainer
Combining teachings from the world’s ancient wisdom
traditions with the most effective rapid-behaviour-change
techniques, hypnotherapist Tom Fortes Mayer presents
with clarity, passion and playfulness the three pillars upon
which all lasting happiness and success can be built:
Pillar 1: Peace (emotional intelligence and
deprogramming fear) - how to let go of the limiting
thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviours that are holding
you back
Pillar 2: Power (success psychology) - how to unleash your
enormous potential and flow through life with brilliance
by learning to relate to life in new ways
Pillar 3: Purpose (unconditional love) - how to enjoy
everything that matters most by experiencing more
connection, contribution and celebration
Featured throughout the book are links to free online
videos as well as a preparatory hypnosis recording that
turns the very reading of the book into a happiness-
generating ritual.This makes the whole reading experience
even more engaging and hugely increases the chance of
real transformation happening in the life of the reader.
By working through this programme, you will understand
why you think as you do, how you can lose the thinking
that keeps you afraid and emotionally stunted, and how
you can connect to a deep, lasting happiness.
