Three Cheers for The Friendly Food Club
We love The Friendly Food Club and always look forward to them joining us at our Wimborne St Giles Jolly Days as we know we’re in for the most delicious lunch, as well as an interesting demonstration by George or Jill, their chefs.
During Lockdown they donated delicious, hand-made lunches for us to distribute to people in our village to provide a bit of a 'lockdown-lift'. And it certainly did the trick! It was a great project and much needed as it was such a cold and difficult time and they really did help us to cheer people up from February until the end of May!
Thank you Friendly Food Club, you really are amazing.
A bit about them
The Friendly Food Club runs fun, FREE, friendly and informal cooking and confidence-building workshops with people of all ages and abilities in communities in need all over Dorset.
Their vision is to get as many people as they can to care about what they eat and to enjoy the process of cooking and eating together, ultimately developing a healthier, more sustainable and affordable lifestyle for everyone.
As well as developing cooking skills and food knowledge, the workshops boost self-confidence and enable individuals to make more informed choices about the food they buy, cook and eat.
The hands-on workshops enable people to learn and develop their cooking skills with easy to follow recipes. The focus is to have fun, whilst practically learning about nutrition, food hygiene and safe working practices. The Friendly Food Club also runs community lunch and dinner clubs, often bringing lonely, vulnerable and otherwise isolated people together to help improve their daily lives.
Our focus is working with people who are the most vulnerable, disadvantaged and often marginalised and everything we deliver is FREE.
The Friendly Food Club is a not for profit initiative and is always looking for funding and volunteers so if you would like to get involved please message them via thier Facebook page or email Sally at sally.friendlyfoodclub@outlook.com or call Tony, thierfounder, on 01308 868700.
