Recipe for Life Volunteers

• Home-Start Aberdeen

• VO63290

Home-Start Aberdeen supports local families, who may be vulnerable or suffering from isolation, with emotional and practical support in their own homes.
Recipe for Life (practical cooking) is a project that Home-Start Aberdeen has developed in partnership with NHS Grampian in 2010. The success of the project has been such that NHS Grampian has continued to fund the project since its inception.
The purpose of the project is to provide support for local families by teaching them practical cooking skills, advising on food budgeting and shopping, providing oral health information and promotion of healthy lifestyles.
Our Recipe for Life volunteers receive full training and will be carefully matched to deliver Recipe for Life on the basis of family need. No formal cookery or nutritional qualifications are required – just a desire to help local families improve their overall wellbeing.
By volunteering with Home-Start Aberdeen, you will be contributing to the work of one of the largest Home-Start schemes in Scotland. There is therefore an opportunity to develop new friendships, learn new skills and really make a contribution to the lives of local families.
