We are delighted to have won an award from Multiply, who encourage the development of Numeracy Skills in adults, for Innovative Substantive Delivery through our Healthy Lifestyles cooking course. Multiply commented that “By weaving budgeting, price comparisons, and portion calculations into meal preparation, the course has empowered parents to develop confidence with numbers in a practical and supportive way.” Over the past three years, the government-funded Multiply initiative has helped hundreds of adults across Leicestershire build confidence with numbers, making a real difference in their lives.

Emma Pickering, who led the delivery of the course, attended the award ceremony at Leicestershire Council Chamber on the 21st of February 2025. We are so proud that Emma’s hard work and dedication, and Nicky’s support in organising the creache, has been acknowledged and rewarded by the Multiply Initiative. We would also like to say a huge thank you to our volunteer team, without which we would not be able to run our courses, as they support parents in the kitchen and help to look after their children in the creche next door.
