Start the week with a focus on healthy living. Mondays combine practical cooking skills with time spent outdoors to support both body and mind.
Morning Focus – Health & Wellbeing
Participants take part in hands-on cooking sessions where they learn how to prepare simple, healthy meals. The focus is on building independence in the kitchen, exploring nutritious ingredients, and developing safe food-handling skills.
