BDA Let’s Get Cooking

The British Dietetic Association provides education and research towards the understanding of diabetes, and promotes healthy living practices.

We funded their Let’s Get Cooking programme which coordinates Essex school and community-based cooking clubs. The grant also helped to produce and distribute recipe packs and run livestreamed cooking sessions for 3,256 children and their families.

These sessions have given the children and their families the skills and confidence to improve their cooking, learn how to make the most out of ingredients and budget for meals. It has also produced a community of families, friends, and pupils who are excited to improve their health and well-being, gain food knowledge and practical kitchen skills.
