Teaching Liverpool to Cook Campaign
Join the Cookery Revolution and get involved in our Teaching Liverpool to Cook Campaign!
This annual 100 day campaign aims to raise £50,000 to provide FREE COOKERY TRAINING FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
This training is vital to the healthy function of thousands of families across Liverpool, with recent research identifying that:
- Traditional cooking skills could be lost in just one generation if steps are not taken today to equip young people with the skills to buy, combine and cook fresh foods
- 50% of adults no longer cook, 90% of young people may not know how to cook simple meals without pre-prepared ingredients
- In Liverpool over 200,000 people no longer eat a home cooked meal each night
With the funds raised each year – we will be training over 2000 people across Liverpool to cook healthy, affordable and home-cooked meals and in doing so – improve the health and wellbeing of the whole family unit. This training will show that Liverpool CAN Cook. Use this link for more on a similar campaign called 5by25 – launched by EBLEX and backed by Chef James Martin who will be supporting our Teaching Liverpool to Cook Campaign.
The LiverpoolCANCook Training will roll out over the year and will be based on the following key principles:
Social
providing cookery training to over 1500 young people – focusing on cooking on a budget and healthier home-cooking.
Corporate Wellbeing
Promoting health within the workplace. One member of staff from each company who donates will be trained to promote health and wellbeing in their workplace.
Ambassadors
- 100 individuals from the above groups, who have demonstrated a particular interest in cookery, will be selected to become Food Ambassadors for their area or community group **
** taking part in further cookery training to provide them with skills & recipes to enthuse and teach others to cook.
To provide the desired impact and in order to be able to train the families, our target is to raise £50,000. We are asking companies, schools, organisations and individuals across Liverpool to join our Cookery Revolution and donate towards the campaign.
