to pledge support of the Let’s Get Cooking
initiative. The pair donated sets of kitchen
scales to after school cooking clubs taking part
across England. With the cost of obesity in
England between £3.3 and £3.7 billion per
year, the Salter kitchen scales have been used
to help school children understand portion
control and the importance of accurate ingre-
dient measurement when cooking. Let’s Get
Cooking is a five-year, £20 million programme
managed by The School Food Trust. As a lead-
ing kitchen scales supplier and as a
long-established partner, Salter Housewares
were selected by Argos to support the initiative
through their partnership with Business in the
Community and The School Food Trust. The
donation of 120 kitchen scales by Salter
Housewares to the schools was used to sup-
port the project in the practical demonstrations
and cooking activities. Argos is looking to en-
list the support of further companies who can
help support the after school clubs.
