PARENT CLUB
Parent Club delivers Kitchen Clubs, where parents with pre-school children meet to prepare and share healthy, easy to cook food. They are designed to improve mental wellbeing through supporting parents to make new connections, learn new skills and make a positive contribution. Improved skills in healthy eating and parenting are also key outcomes. We currently work across North-East London.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
