Cooking support Wantage families struggling financially due to Covid 19

Maymessy aims to support as many parents as we can by facilitating how make cheap, healthy, nutritious and tasty meals on a limited budget.

We have been running workshops twice weekly from 9th March 2021 as per government guidelines for a small group of mums.

We have been using food bank ingredients and seasonal vegetables to make realistic, easy and healthy family meals.

Vegetable lasagna, soups, making and baking bread and tray bakes have been on the menu.

Generous funding for cookery classes from Vale of White Horse Council Covid grant.

We are particularly supporting families from the Wantage Corona support group who have been struggling financially due to Covid.

The families identified through collaboration from The Ray Collins Charitable Trust who also supported us financially through blenders and taxis and the Mix Wantage with food bank ingredients and seasonal veg.
