St Michael’s Youth Project in Hull gives children and teenagers a nurturing environment where they can flourish.

Focussing on outdoor activities, children have fun in natural surroundings, build self-esteem, and manage risks. The healthy living theme continues with activities around food.

BBC Children in Need fund the ‘The Eating Table’ programme which involves young people in cooking activities each week: planning menus, budgeting and shopping. The aim is to create meals that are simple to prepare, affordable, attractive to young people, and reflect healthier choices.

As well as cooking together, the children can take prepared food home to their families, connecting their experience with daily life and the wider community.
