People taking part in a Mental Wellbeing programme at the Antioch Centre in Llanelli, funded by Communities First, asked if they could have a healthy cooking programme that would support their improvements to a healthier lifestyle.
Communities First then provided four sessions of healthy cooking, where the individuals were able to prepare and cook the food in the Antioch Centre.
The sessions were very well received and those taking part felt they had learned a lot and would now be able to add healthier options to their diet and improve their lifestyle and health.
One course member said: “I have really enjoyed these cooking sessions as it has shown me that even with my disability I can still make nice recipes that are healthy. The health officers have been really patient and understanding and it has been a pleasure to be part of these sessions.”
Another taking part added: “I’ve enjoyed the information about different ingredients and foods which we have been able to cook in the class. I also enjoyed talking with the health officers about healthy eating and different options and variety of food that I can cook to stay healthy.”
Executive board member for regeneration and leisure Cllr Meryl Gravell said: “I’m pleased Communities First put on these cookery classes at the request of people on theMental Wellbeing programme and that it has proved to be so useful for them.”
