IMPACTTastyTeam #GetCooking with #YoungCarers

"We underestimate what young children can do. They love the sensation of squashing, crushing and mashing, and the sound of jingly measuring spoons. And they love pressing buttons... Beyond the sheer joy of getting messy in the kitchen, kids relish having a little control - especially over what they eat. Give them the ability to play with and customise their food and they’ll take pride in it. Most importantly, they’ll tuck in." (Allegra McEvedy, BBC)

IMPACT's Tasty Team is taking action to make healthy eating an integral part of daily life for children and vulnerable adults within our community. Making cooking fun, simple, accessible and nutritious means our participants begin to think positively about food, rather than seeing it as a hurdle.  This picture is showing a session we ran earlier this year with young carers in Crawley.
