The Community Chef

Community Chef Project

This is a pioneering project which aims to support local people to develop cooking skills and make healthy choices.

We employ a trained chef who works at the heart of the community and offers various events and courses. Mike Spackman – our Community Chef – has made a major impact since starting work for us in March 2009. He delivers a wide range of training sessions for professionals, adults and children using catering and training skills to promote healthy eating. The Chef aims to influence eating habits and equip people with practical food preparation skills which can be transferred to the home setting easily.

By the end of our first year Mike willhave helped over 1,500 people at 35 public events We are also on target to deliver over 20 different cooking courses for a wide range of groups including: families, lone parents, dads and mental health service users.
