We have delivered two Healthy Eating Courses so far taught by our most loved cookery teacher Sharon Gardner. All the recipes taught are vegan using only plant-based ingredients.
With funding from Common Call, we were able to offer these courses free of charge. Throughout the 4 dates, participants were sent a free bag of ingredients prior to their lesson each week.
Check out the case study from one of our favourite students!
