Intercultural Food Days
The project is being delivered on estates across the Peabody Group, with residents from greatly diverse cultures and backgrounds.
Supervised by staff, it involves local groups of volunteers organising a monthly buffet in the community centre. At each event, residents cook meals from their country of origin and bring them to the centre to share over friendly discussions.
Each session also involves a presentation on healthy eating, cooking healthy food on a budget, weight management for families etc.
The sessions take place at weekends so that working parents and school children can attend, giving the buffet a family atmosphere.
