Food for Thought

Food for Thought (formerly What's Cooking) is a community club where people with an interest in food and cooking can meet and enjoy the company of others who share their interest and passion.

The principal aim is to help older people to renew their interest and skills in cooking and to do so in good company and whilst having fun. Anyone with an interest in cooking is welcome.

The clubs are run by volunteers who share their own knowledge of cooking and food to create sessions which are interesting and stimulating, whilst keeping a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for participants.

Food for Thought is run by OPAL and is funded by Brightlife. Brightlife is a Big Lottery funded project which aims to reduce social isolation across the local area by creating different activities and opportunities, and help people stay connected.
