Cooking Classes at Trinity Community Centre

An exciting joint Community Outreach project with Family Works is about to begin. The purpose is to encourage young mums to cook economical and healthy meals for their families. Family Works are providing the funding for the ingredients and items needed to facilitate this project. A Presbyterian Support South Canterbury volunteer and myself are going to be the lead Facilitators. We would like another helper to be alongside us to assist. The classes are intended to be ongoing for  different groups of women meeting one morning a week in four week blocks. Sharing and Caring will be at the heart of this project.
