We are running a community development project in the South of Edinburgh in partnership with Out and About and Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust and funded by the City of Edinburgh Council and NHS.  

What's happening?

As part of our Out and About project in partnership with Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust, we run cooking groups where members of the community get together to cook and eat healthy food.   We promote healthy eating, give talks on how to live a healthy lifestyle and even offer free access to our REHIS accredited qualifications. We have recently started offering cooking groups the opportunity to participate in the Food & Health qualification within the cook club. 

The project is for residents of Dumbiedykes, Oxgangs & South East Edinburgh.

So far we've reached a diverse range of people including families, older people, black and minority ethics groups, people with learning disabilities and those attending mental health support groups. 

Cook Clubs at:

Goodtrees Neighbourhood Centre - Starting Thursday 11th July - 2.00PM  - 4.00 PM

Pentland Community Centre - Starting Wednesday 31st July - 2.00 PM - 4.00PM
