Children from inner city Liverpool learned to make Ghanaian and Indian food, as well as an American pancake breakfast, during Glory Worship Church's 'Little Cookers Club' Feast of Fun event.

Families were invited to the three-day holiday club, where children learned knife skills to cut various vegetables and how to prepare different ingredients from around the world.

'Little Cookers Club' enabled more than 50 nutritious meals to be prepared and eaten by children.

"This grant made a huge difference in strengthening relationship with our community" - Pastor Blessing Osaghae

  • 6 volunteers helped run the educational family event
  • 8 families participated, including 16 children and 7 adults
  • The event engaged with families in receipt of free school meals, single parent households and BAME households

Pastor of Glory Worship, Blessing Osaghae, said: "One of the best things about the activity was that it brought families together. The kids definitely made new friends."

"Three children even began coming to church on a Sunday after attending Little Cookers Club. The children enjoyed it so much - they made friends with another family".

She added: "We normally have summer events for our kids. However, this year because we just got a new building the finances of the church was more focused on the building. This grant gave us the push to do an event."
