The work that CAAS do has been independently evaluated twice; by the Food Policy Centre at City University in 2008 (the first academically robust evaluation of any cooking in school initiative in the UK) and by Genecon in 2010.


Over 97% of teachers surveyed for the Genecon evaluation felt that


CAAS had either some or a significant impact in stimulating children’s interest in food and food provenance. Overwhelmingly children had a positive attitude to the CAAS session with 89% of children surveyed for the City University evaluation wanting another session with the Chef.


The


evaluation also found that Chefs Adopt a School ‘represented a great opportunity to teach children healthier eating habits through practical cookery’.


The Trustees have agreed to fund the CAAS programme for a period of three years with funding of £30,000 per annum. Each year’s grant is dependent on a satisfactory annual evaluation of activities and therefore entirely at the discretion of the Trustees. The year under review marks the third and final payment of this three year term. At their March 2011 meeting, the Trustees agreed to fund the CAAS programme for a further 3 year term commencing 1st April 2011 at £35,000 per annum.


Army Cate g Trainng Trus rin i t £1 1,040


The grant to the Army Catering Training Trust will be used to help their Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Centre fund the Foundation degree in Hospitality & Food Service Management which they run in conjunction with Westminster Kingsway College. The CPD Centre is located at the Defence Food Services School in Worthy Down and is a work-based learning provider whose work is exclusively concerned with soldiers within the chef trade group of the Royal Logistics Corp in the British Army. The majority of the funds will be used for 10 individual learning contributions for their first and second years on the course and for individual net book computers to support the learners.


Enfield Se a Cadets £ 2,098


The grant to Enfield Sea Cadets will be used for the refurbishment of the galley/kitchen. The galley is used for the cook/steward qualifications which include learning about food and nutrition and service to silver service standard. The galley is also used for fund raising dinners that are regularly held at the unit.


Futureversity Futureversity Cookery Class


Futureversity actively encourages and welcomes any young person, regardless of personal circumstance to enroll for and attend courses and activities. Many of the attendees have serious issues at home, with no personal space, many siblings, dependent parents, low confidence and self-esteem.


Interestingly, statistics from summer 2008 and 2009


showed that youth crime figures reduced by an average of 10% across every London borough running a Futureversity programme.


They requested funding for those 2010 summer courses relevant to the hotel, catering and tourism industry. This would enable them to provide 160 hours of tuition on a selection of courses for up to 138 young people between the ages of 11 and 25 in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.


Futureversity reported that the funds received from the Trust were used towards the costs of 10 courses.


These were Indian Cookery, International Cookery, Thai Fruit Carving, Telephone


Techniques, Tourism & Customer Care, Thai Cookery and Chinese Cuisine. They expanded on these courses by adding three more: Cake Making & Decoration, So Sushi! And CIEH level 2 Food Hygiene, the latter geared towards young people who wished to gain an industry based qualification to work in food outlets.
