Children were given a taster session on how to cook simple, yet healthy, meals at home with their families and were sent home with a box of ingredients to kickstart their healthy eating journeys. Daniel Wake, Lead Mentor at Community Shop CIC,
said: “We met some amazing people from Active Fusion and some fantastic kids across the schools we visited. We have enjoyed every minute and can’t wait to get cooking with even more kids in the future.”

launch her own school thanks to a business start-up course with The Source Skills Academy at Meadowhall. She said: “My six-week startup
