Free Fun Family Food (also known as "4F") is a great way to enjoy new foods and recipes with your family. Fully funded by Active Essex, the free sessions happen at times and locations where families can cook and eat a healthy meal together.
​
Each week, families will be given all the ingredients and utensils they need to prepare their meal, be supported to cook it together and can then sit and eat it or put in takeaway pots to take home. Where meals take a little while to cook, we'll provide activities for the children to do while you're waiting!
​
Most sessions are suitable for families with children aged 5 or above. We also offer some sessions specifically for families with preschool age children and this is identified on the group listings below.
​
We are pleased to share that the families who attend the current sessions regularly will receive a gift of an electric pan to take home with them after the final session, again funded by Active Essex.
