Good Grub Club (GGC), launched in 2017 by Abri to tackle holiday hunger, has shared recipes by young East Hampshire resident, Fyn
GGC was set up to support families during school holidays, providing recipe ideas and ingredients. It runs in Whitehill and Bordon, making cooking fun for the whole family while supporting families who usually have access to free school meals.
Since the start of the pandemic the club has been taking place at home, providing families with cook-along videos and delivery boxes with ingredients. Most recently young member, Fyn, took part by recording two pudding recipes to share with 30 families, including 65 children.
Fyn took part in the Great British Junior Bake Off in January, sharing his baking skills alongside fellow contestants from across the country. Talking about his contribution to the latest Good Grub Club, he said:
“I’ve always wanted to make videos to teach people how to bake and cook. I want them to see that it’s fun and easy. Baking is all about having fun, anything cooked with love tastes good, and makes people happy.”
Good Grub Club in Whitehill and Bordon is supported by East Hampshire District Council’s Health New Towns funding and the Community Development Trust. The club is connected to community hub, Café 1758, providing a freshly prepared hot meal plus recipe bag for four.
Since its inception GGC has helped more than 100 families put food on the table, while combatting social isolation and getting people cooking together. As well as providing families with food items at a time when it’s needed most, the club promotes healthy eating and low-cost meal ideas.
