EAT AND COOK PROJECT UNITES THE AGES

At yesterdays Oscott Ward Advisory Board meeting we had a presentation from the Hands on residents Association who are based in the Privet Close area.
Sherie Sutherland and other adult volunteers brought along a number of youngsters to explain how they had spent a grant given to them by the Oscott Ward.
Their project a Eat and Cook exercise, involved learning to cook using the facilities at the 610 Community Centre and meeting with groups of elderly residents in the area.During these meetings there was an opportunity to help break down age barriers and for different age groups to get to know each other. Many cookery tips were passed down form older residents from off the Ashgrove elderly resident complex (off Shady Lane) for example.
This sort of project is just what is needed to help bring the local community together.
