Ryde Town Council launches community cookery sessions with new funding

Ryde Town Council are delighted to announce that we have been awarded funding by the South Western Railway Customer and Communities Investment Fund (CCIF) and SNG to deliver a series of community cookery sessions.

These sessions are designed to bring people together, promote healthy eating, and provide essential cooking skills for families and individuals within our community.

Funding in place
Thanks to this generous funding, we have already begun offering cookery sessions to local primary schools, where parents and children can learn and cook together.

These sessions have been met with enthusiasm, and we are thrilled to continue them in the new school term.

Cookery sessions for their young people
In addition to our school-based programmes, Network Ryde, our dedicated youth service, will be hosting cookery sessions specifically for their young people.

These sessions aim to inspire and empower our younger generation with practical cooking skills, fostering a sense of independence and healthy living.

Where and when
Starting from 19th September, we will be running a series of six-week cookery courses, open to everyone in the community. These courses will be held at the new Network Ryde building, a welcoming space designed to accommodate a variety of community activities.

Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to improve your culinary skills, these courses offer something for everyone.

Sign up
We encourage all interested community members to join us in this exciting initiative. For more information or to sign up, please email [email protected].

Ryde Town Council is committed to creating opportunities that enhance community well-being, and we believe these cookery sessions will provide valuable life skills while fostering a stronger, healthier community.
