ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

This course is part of a study to show that cooking and eating well can have a positive impact on our mood.
This means we are opening places on the course for people who are: age 16-18 years old (or up to 25 if there are any SEND needs) living in Gateshead sometimes experiencing episodes of lowmood willing and able to put the skills and recipes into practice at home happy to support the project by completing a few forms at the start and end of the course.
We’re collecting evaluation data from participants because we really care about the difference that the course makes and hope to be able to gather enough data to prove that this is programme should be available to more young people in Gateshead and the rest of the country for a long time!
