What is Big Boro Big Eats we hear you say?
It is the Summer Programme that we have developed and run with two fantastic youth organisations in Middlesbrough; Linx Youth Project and Youth Focus: North East. Using the magic recipe of a youth worker and a chef we have taken our passion for food and food education to give young people the chance to learn about nutrition and making healthy choices and have access to real, fresh and nutritious food and how to prepare it. This was a six-week pilot project to help young people to develop personally, socially and educationally. As well as giving young people the opportunity to find out more about great food, they had the chance to take part in social action as they served the food they produced into the communities they live in.
