When we eat better, we do better. So Let's Get Cooking are all about inspiring everyone to learn to cook and enjoy good food. We give people the confidence and skills they need to get hands-on in the kitchen and make healthier food choices throughout their lives.
First set up in 2007, our first 5,000 clubs were created in schools and – supported with Big Lottery funding – reached more than three million people.
We support all of these Let’s Get Cooking clubs by offering recipes, advice, expert training and practical resources.
And by sharing our expertise with many other organisations across the country including Barnardo's, The Prince’s Trust, The People’s Health Trust, Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation, WRAP and various primary care trusts, we support the delivery of cooking activities to help even more young people and adults to get cooking.
