What a first year! Hundreds of young people cooking, learning and growing in confidence. And we’re only just getting started...

CRuNCH is built around a brilliantly simple idea: every young person should leave school able to cook at least five simple, healthy meals. 

Their focus on teenagers is crucial, as it’s when they become more independent and start to make their own choices in an increasingly complex food environment.

But it's about more than just food. Get a teenager excited about cooking one simple meal and there’s every chance it will be the start of something they carry into adult life...
 
I’d love to see every teenager given that opportunity.
