Working with Schools and Clubs.......

The workshop for key stage 4 and 5 looks at Processed Vs freshly prepared meals. 

Project aim: To empower secondary school aged children to make informed decisions regarding their diet and understand how food impacts positively and negatively on their long term health.

Key areas to cover:

• The health benefits of avoiding processed, salty, sugary foods

• Why we crave processed/sugary/salty/fast foods and how to control these cravings by investigating alternatives and changes of routine

• How to cook healthy and tasty meals cost effectively 

• Understand the importance of protein rich, complex carbs and fibre for breakfast, snacks and dinner

• How to cook a selection of traditional and ‘Fakeaway’ main meals

• Understand which foods have positive and negative effects on our bodies

The information will include how a healthy balanced diet, with the reduction of ultra processed foods can reduce the risk of several cancers types, heart disease, cardio-vascular disease, diabetes.   The ideology behind the project is to reach young people at an important development stage of their life to embed vital health information they can carry back to their families and therefore allow the message to continue throughout the community. 

If you work in a school or club and feel this is a course you would like us to deliver to your students please get in touch!

We are also keen to work with other age groups on other exciting projects so please do reach out if this interests  you!

This September sees the launch of our new after-school Mindfulness class!

• Each session begins with a talking circle where we discuss our week and complete mindful activities.

• We move on to the mats and learn some relaxation exercises

• Finally, we end the hour with a guided meditation where they will meet dragons, waterfalls, magic doors, treasure and enchanted forests. 

• Children will come home with their meditation which they can, if they wish, practise at bedtime to help them relax into a restful sleep…..
