Story

I am so proud to be part of this Charity that does amazing work supporting children and families.  This year we are celebrating130 years since the formal opening of the Charity, and we have set a fundraising challenge to identify an activity, based on '130' to achieve over this next year.  Well I love cooking and my challenge is to cook 130 recipes that are new to  me.  Some recipes may be new takes on old favourites, a new style I've never tried before or something I've invented, but hopefully tastes good.  I feel fortunate to be in a position where I can do this and don't have to worry about where the next meal comes from, but so many of the Children and Families we work with every day do have those worries, and it is simply wrong.  In this society everyone should be able to eat, keep warm, have shelter, keep safe,  but we see many hundreds of children and families who don't have that option,  where the things many of us take for granted are luxuries. 

I will post pictures of the meals I have cooked and where the recipes are from, if you think you'd like them, or they look good then please make a small donation to my fundraising page.  The money raised will support the children and young people we work with, provide additional support and activities for our Young Carers and care leavers and pay for additional counselling support because life has been harsh at times.

I hope you are able to help.  This is a great Charity that makes such a difference to children and families and the money raised will really support us.
