Activities

We have a Cooking session every week, our members choose what they would like to make through idea sharing, they are then put on a rota so everyone knows what we are making each week. We make pasties, pizza, curry, quiche, cheesecake, sponges, and lots more. Cooking involves using lots of different skills each week depending on what is being made. This is one of our life skills sessions.
