Healthy Eating Workshops

We held a taster session for a Healthy Eating workshop that we anticipate to hold in ADAB in the new term.

We had a great turnout for the Friday afternoon session held in ADAB and ladies were able to share learning and ideas with each other.

The tutor was able to hold a demonstration of a sweet and savoury dish as well as the learners having the opportunity to have a go themselves.

The tutor was also able to answer questions and give hints and tips for the best possible outcome. We will be holding an additional session for further information please contact us on 0161 764 6749.
