Grand Kitchen out of school hangout
This is funded by Awards for All and designed to teach 12 young people how to prepare and cook healthy food on a tight budget, raising awareness of the impact of poor diet, drugs, crime and how these affect the whole community. Participants will gain new skills, knowledge and attitude, which they will then use to reach out to other young people within the community. The project will also offer young attendees a chance to make a positive contribution volunteering, training or taking up employment within our community projects and social enterprise. The course is lead by experienced community chef Nkono with the support of Dr Judwin Ndzo a paediatric doctor from CamdocUK (Cameroonian Doctors UK). Dr Ndzo has a huge interest in nutrition and a masters in nutrition.
