Let's Get Cooking provides a measurable programme, with a comprehensive monitoring and tracking database, robust evaulation study and various communication routes for gathering feedback from participants.

Lottery objectives

Our five-year Lottery programme has three key objectives and we are exceeding all of our agreed targets:

Objective 1: by the end of the first five years of the programme more than 1.1 million children, family members and members of the local community will increase their food preparation or cooking skills as a result of Let’s Get Cooking.
Progress: So far more than 1.4 million people have increased their cooking skills through Let’s Get Cooking, and the number is still increasing, so we have smashed our 1.1 million target.

Objective 2: 70% of participants who learn a new healthy eating skill through Let’s Get Cooking will replicate that skill at home.
Progress: Through our evaluation study we know that 90% of club members are using the cooking skills they have learned at home.

Objective 3: 50% of children, young people and families who participate in Let’s Get Cooking will increase their intake of nutritionally healthy food.
Progress: As part of our evaluation study, club members report on what kinds of food they eat before and then after their involvement with Let’s Get Cooking. After the first three waves of research, 59% of club members have reported eating healthier food (and/or fewer less healthy foods) after taking part in Let’s Get Cooking.
