Let’s Get Cooking is using a £20 million Big Lottery Fund grant to set up a network of 5,000 cooking clubs across England, for children, their families and the wider community.
By 2010, there will be 3,000 new cooking clubs and 2,000 associate clubs.
New clubs receiving funding for cooking equipment and club running costs, training for adult helpers and a range of resources.
Existing cooking clubs which come on board as associate clubs, receive resources, support and limited funding.
Let's Get Cooking resources include a Start-Up pack for each club, wall charts, food safety advice, child-friendly versions of recipes, a termly activity and newsletter, and much more. All clubs have their own club page on the website and have access to downloadable resources and advice.
Regional Let’s Get Cooking Coordinators and Training Officers provide support and can put clubs in touch with local volunteers for extra help with routine jobs such as shopping or helping with special events.
Each club must follow the Let’s Get Cooking guidelines and obtain the support of a headteacher, who signs the Let’s Get Cooking agreement. Each club completes a very brief online report for each club session they run. But Let's Get Cooking's mission is to get people cooking, not form-filling.
