Basic IT skills - internet & email
Cooking knowledge, basic IT - using social media. But more about enjoying chatting in a WhatsApp group, enthusiasm and motivating people.
The pleasure of chatting to people in a WhatsApp group, rewards of seeing the achievements of those on the cooking course, who post photos and share their feedback after they have cooked recipes. The knowledge that volunteer is making a lasting difference to people's lives by encouraging people to cook healthy, good value food from scratch.
