Cooking Classes for Seniors
Are you finding it hard to get up and feed yourself a good meal, lacking the confidence to make good food and needing some more skills in the kitchen ?
If this sounds like you, perhaps you would like to consider attending our FREE cooking classes starting this Thursday, 25th Feb. They run for 4 weeks and each session is 3 hours long.
During this time you learn about nutrition, meal planning, portion size, food labelling, good food practices and even more. You'll see me demo one of the recipes and then you will make a couple. We then sit down as a group and enjoy lunch. All that for FREE!
You will take home a 50 page recipe booklet to try all the new recipes.
Details of location and times on the poster attached. We need 4 more people to make the numbers up to 12.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
