Because we are an educational setting, wearing a face mask is optional during our cookery classes. However, we recommend all of our students to wear PPE when they attend. Please bear in mind, face masks MUST be worn in Leeds Markets to access our centre.

A huge thank you to the lovely Lisa Hammond from Tesco who popped in with some vouchers for our volunteers who have completed their Jamie's MOF course. These will be used for ingredients to get their store cupboards started. #communitychampion

Nutrition labels aim to help us to make healthier, #foodwisechoices , but they can be confusing. When you're shopping it's helpful to look at the traffic light on the packaging. Find out how to read food labels: bit.ly/2z6yGMf FoodWise Leeds #Leeds #foodlabels

If you think junk food advertising doesn’t work, think again! Our powerful film shows how teens are being manipulated into eating unhealthy food. We support a 9pm watershed on junk food ads & urge Boris Johnson to include this in his #obesity plan. WATCH: bit.ly/BB2030-Film
