Let's Get Cooking

Let's Get Cooking is a new national network of healthy cooking clubs for children, parents and communities backed by £20 million from the Big Lottery Fund. Let’s Get Cooking is using the Lottery money to set up the first 5,000 school-based clubs in England by 2010

The aims of Let's Get Cooking

Let's Get Cooking is giving children, parents, employees and local communities the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge about cooking and eating healthy food. Working closely with schools, the government and businesses, Let's Get Cooking focuses on reaching the most disadvantaged communities.

Let's Get Cooking has three key targets:

• To teach over 1 million people  new cooking skills.
• 70% of the programme's participants will replicate at home the new healthy food preparation skills they have learnt.
• 50% of children, young people and families who participate in Let’s Get Cooking will increase their intake of nutritionally healthy food.
