The reason I first came to WELLfed was because of my daughter and also my grandson. We really needed to learn how to cook healthy meals on a budget. It was great for me and my daughter - doing a course together was good for our relationship - we grew together. We met lots of new people and learnt so many new recipes. At WELLfed we leave any difficult stuff at the door and come into class to cook together in a relaxed fun environment. We met lots of new people and learnt so many new recipes. I’ve come out of my comfort zone. I’m now much more confident and socialise with lots of people.

After the program finished I was asked to become part of the WELLfed leadership team and have been doing this all year. Due to COVID I sadly lost my job however, WELLfed gave me and my family stability through this difficult time. I’ve recently started a garden with the help of WELLfed and have taught my kids how to grow a garden. We harvest from outside our house and walk the produce into our kitchen. Being part of the WELLfed leadership team has taught me to be patient - not to rush (time management) and how to interact with others. I'm also using the leadership skills elsewhere within my community and also within my large family.
