With huge thanks to our funders, The Gibbons Family Trust we have the Newington Young Chefs which is a project that runs every Monday evening, 5pm-7pm. This runs alongside the Newington Chill Club with Nova Marshall.

A group of young people come together to learn new skills and confidence within a kitchen environment.

Using our new training kitchen, the young people are learning new skills such as reading and following recipes, knife skills, weighing and measuring ingredients. They are also learning the importance of nutrition to create healthy balanced meals and snacks for their family and peers. As well as learning the importance of health, safety and hygiene within a kitchen environment.

The young people are divided into small groups of two with their own cooking station and share the responsibility of creating a meal for their fellow peers within their youth group.

We have found offering young people the chance to get creative in the kitchen has shown the group flourish with confidence in preparing meals and has heightened their interest in food and cooking.

If you or your young person is interested in joining this group please use the contact us page here.
