WORLD FOOD PROJECT

We have funding to run a new World Food project from June 2013. This will include working with local people to document the food they eat and the stories behind these foods. We will learn about the history of foods from the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and Europe and will explore how they have influenced each other. We’ll create a world map showing the stories behind the food we eat today and run lots of workshops (maybe in the same way as food heroes) to explore all of this.

This project could also include workshops targeted to a range of people eg young parents, children and teenagers. The food history project will be run by a board of local people, who will help us design the workshops and activities.

Join us for a meeting where we’ll be starting to plan the project from 7pm on Wednesday 12thJune 2013 in the depot meeting room.

RETIRED PEOPLE'S LUNCH CLUB

Retired people are welcome to come and eat lunch made with vegetables and fruit from the greenhouse at the depot from noon this Friday. These sessions are informal and friendly and everyone is welcome. We ask for a £2 contribution towards the cost of the food.

Eight half-day sessions of horticultural training and support, delivered either at the projects’ sites or at Myatt’s greenhouse
The opportunity to start seedlings off in the park greenhouse
12 horticulture training days at Myatt’s Fields Park greenhouse
A small grant of £250 to buy resources

The scheme is funded by City Bridge Trust, the City of London Corporation’s Charity, under its Growing Localities programme.

The closing date for applications is Monday 20th May 2013. See the previous post for more information and an application form.

LITTLE CAT CAFÉ AND TAKE AWAY

The menu for the Thai take away this week will be vegetable red curry and chicken yellow curry. The café is open Friday to Sunday, 10.30am to 5pm.

At present, the parents’ breakfast club, retired people’s lunch and food heroes will not have funding to continue in their current format.

However, there is good news:

We are also seeking funding to continue to run the retired people’s lunch from July 2013 – June 2014. We will know about the results of this funding application around June 2013.

If any parents would be interested in volunteering to run the Friday morning sessions, we will provide you with food safety training and support you to do this.
