"Reaching for Gold is a new competition to encourage innovation and
creativity in young people - essential skills for the industries that will
lead us out of recession. 14-19 year olds across the South East are invited
to put forward ideas that can make a practical difference to society.  The
themes for the competition are Youth, Community and Disability.  

Online applications are being sought from across the South East,
particularly targeting those living or working with disadvantage or
disability, through Community & Voluntary Organisations and/or schools. The
competition is now 'open for applications' and will close at 5pm on the 21st
August 2009. All the documentation, guidance and resources are available on
the website: www.reachingforgold.org.uk

Join Old Spice, the cooking club for

older men.

Old Spice is a LifeLines/Brighton & Hove Food Partnership project set up to develop basic cookery skills and healthy eating on a budget for men over 50.

If you find yourself a stranger in your own kitchen, then this is the ideal opportunity to join us, make new friends and get stuck into cooking – it promises to be a challenge, but great fun too.

Old Spice is an eight-week course that will cover a wide range of cookery skills – setting up a larder, basic ‘prep’ skills, cooking for one, exploring different ways of cooking, making sauces, tasty stir- fry, salads, creating menus – even entertaining.  Each week, you will prepare and eat a meal based around the week’s theme.
