Directors' report period ended 31 March 2024

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 31 March 2024

Principal activities of the company

The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of running courses designed to provide individuals with basic cooking techniques. The service provided by the company will be aimed as assisting and supporting people who have never been taught to cook or who lack the relevant cooking skills to be able to prepare simple meals for themselves and their families.

Additional information

We continue to provide cooking classes to members of the general populations interested in developing their cookery skills - in particular Mediterranean cooking. We also continue to offer a range of gut health classes teaching relevant aspects of gut health science alongside practical skills of how to prepare a fibre rich /prebiotic & probiotic diet of plants, fermented foods & beverages to support the gut microbiome. Our Mediterranean classes also include information about the benefits of the Mediterranean diet & lifestyle. Other sessions offered have taught how to reduce the use of harsh chemicals or toxic ingredients in the home or in cosmetics, with natural / green' product making workshops. Due to our experience and skills in social work and teaching, in addition to the above, we are striving to offer more to communities in 2024-25, for example, teaching Mediterranean cooking to children in schools or colleges in challenged areas &/ or with challenging needs, and /or offer opportunities for refugees /asylum seekers to develop language skills. Finally, given the challenging financial circumstances we are living in, we have maintained our existing fees /charges.

Company activities and impact

We have continued to provide cookery courses to members of the general populations who wish to develop cookery skills & improve their health & wellbeing. We have also developed our range of gut health classes which now include a taster gut health & sourdough bread making class. All classes include teaching relevant aspects of gut health science/ theory as well as how to prepare fibre rich and fermented foods & beverages to support the gut microbiome. We redesigned our Mediterranean classes to include more about the benefits of the Mediterranean diet & lifestyle. As part of our interest in supporting community ventures we made plans and have secured funding from National Lottery Awards for All Community Funds to run a series of courses for asylum seekers and refugees. These free courses will provide opportunities for participants develop their use of English through the activity of cooking where they can celebrate their cultural / heritage dishes. These sessions include travel and some childcare support. Given the challenging financial circumstances we are living in, we have maintained our existing fees and charges to our paying customers to keep them as accessible as possible.
