AN after-school club will be cooking up some good times thanks to a £3,000 grant.
The Cool After School Club, held at St Vincent de Paul Primary School in Stevenage, has been given the money from the Local Network Fund.
The club is a healthy-eating café which runs two afternoons a week for children from various schools.
Participants are taught by a trained chef to cook a variety of nutritious foods and the money has funded a cooker, as well as weekly ingredients and a range of culinary equipment.
Cool After School also intends to use the cash for food-themed parties such as Diwali or Halloween celebrations, food tasting games, and making recipe cards.
Noreen Kear, acting manager of the group, said: "Children, staff and parents of Cool After School will benefit greatly from the grant and we look forward to lots of healthy cooking and eating."
