Cooking Course for children in Crisis 

We have designed a course for children in crisis "school refusers" so anyone who is currently not in school due to awaiting provision or not managing their current setting. This course has been created to reduce isolation and to help build a bridge with the child and the community/education. It is also to create positive relationships with adults as well as socialising in a small group with other people with Autism. We have had amazing feedback from our attendees and parents. It is once a week on a Wednesday and it comes with a cost for ingredients please email Becky for more information on Beckybsass@gmail.com this is a parent/ carer and child course so you can cook together. 

We also speak very casually open the conversation about autism and difficulties and positives whilst cooking it's very light as casual as the topics come up. like heightened taste buds ect...

Over 16's Life skills cooking Course

This is a cooking course designed to create independence, self confidence, self awareness, life skills, social skills and casual autism awareness. This course also builds up barista skills resulting in a certificate in Barista skills. The last day of the session we invite family and friends for the over 16's to show their skills and put them into practise as well as serving skills. This is all to help steps towards their future.
