- Description: The people that we work with face multiple challenges in their lives.  Finances, time, families’ food preferences, lack of equipment, caring responsibilities, disability and ill health all play their part in defining the food choices open to them, and their access to services. We are able to reach and work together with those who are farthest away from being able to access community group settings. They may feel uncomfortable joining groups, or have physical limitations that make travel hard. Parents of young children, or carers who can’t leave their relative alone. Those with chaotic lives or on shift work who struggle to show up in a particular place at a particular time. By connecting with people on WhatsApp and over the phone, we are able to support them at the time of their choosing, and without the demands of a face to face course. Elements of what we do reduce social isolation for many; we also build confidence, which allows participants to engage with society in the future. We show people that healthy eating is not only good for you, but fun, tasty and even social, and help them to build their habits for the long term. Participants receive a delivery of all the ingredients required to complete the course, and some critical equipment such as measuring spoons and a knife sharpener. This is enough food for 7 meals. Also included is a full set of paperwork including illustrated techniques (in about 5% of cases we mentor participants over the phone, as they may not have a smartphone or internet), and local shopping & services guide which is tailored for their specific location with details of local shops, current pricing, and support services they may find useful. If participants have children, they are encouraged to involve their children in the cooking which often changes cooking from being a chore to a fun family activity. It also means the children are more likely to try and eat the food.
