Thankyou to everyone who joined us for our 5 week cooking sessions this term you all did yourselves proud 👏 All of our service users also got a FREE slow cooker as they completed our cooking on budget 5 week course courtesy of Gillian at the back of the moss . Thankyou so much for having us these last 5 weeks.

Also whilst our cooking session at botm was going on we had Joanna from Living Well Rochdale doing blood pressure checks for our service users and also giving them a fantastic opportunity to sign up for FREE courses which included level 2 health and social care and also level 2 teaching assistant.

Thankyou to all of our brilliant volunteers who each week without fail turn up and help with our cooking sessions without our volunteers none of this would happen so well done guys we appreciate you loads 🙏
