Grow, Cook, Eat

Grow, Cook and Eat Healthy Foods

Our Grow! Cook! Eat! Project is about building capacity for healthy living in the community. It will enable people to grow and cook healthy food, and share their knowledge to those around them.

This project is available in the following areas: Castle, St.David’s, Spencer, Kingsley, Headlands, St.Jame’s, Westone, Talavera, Brookside, Billing, Brackley West, Kingthorn, Drayton, Weedon.

Working together, Cooking Good and Hope, backed by Public Health England are running the project to deliver growing, cooking and healthy eating programs across West Northamptonshire.

Community Organisations

This project aims to equip communities with the knowledge and the skills to champion growing and cooking. Through this initiative we provide opportunities for local ‘champions’ to access support for growing, cooking and eating healthy foods.  Guidance, support and funding is available to community organisations to set up projects. Please click HERE for grant application guidance.

Community Champions

Champions will be selected from community organisations, to become local experts in growing and cooking food.  Champions will be part of a free ‘train the trainer’ program with access to a four week course and practical sessions in cooking and growing. You will become part of a network of champions and trainers helping to educate and pass on skills and knowledge to the wider community.

Individuals

Our Grow! Cook! Eat! project has something for every member of the community, from being trained as a  Community Champion to simply taking part. We want our communities to be in good health, to be equipped with the knowledge and the with the skills to champion growing and good cooking. Join us to make difference by bringing communities together to learn to grow and cook on a budget.
