Life & Independence Skills
Our young person's life skills development programme aims to equip young people with the cookery skills that will allow them to lead healthier and more integrated and independent lives.
Participants will learn how to prepare low-cost, healthy meals from scratch alone and as a group, in an inclusive and relaxed environment.
