Help with the washing up

When you have a lot of people round for a meal, there can be a lot of washing up. So when you are serving lunch to 65+ people every weekday, hungry folks who have been busy on therapeutic activity projects at Crag House Farm, there really is a mountain of washing up!

This is the situation in the Centre at Caring For Life every weekday, and they serve breakfast as well. So a good industrial dishwasher is a must! This not only relieves the burden of work, but also ensures that crockery and cutlery are properly cleaned and sanitised.

Thanks to the generosity of grant makers, just before Christmas, a beautiful “all singing - all dancing” dishwasher was installed in our Centre kitchen.

The team on Catering Academy are getting to grips with how the new model works and we really are grateful for this amazing gift of help with the washing up!

Having a Healthy Day

Each day in the centre at Crag House Farm, we seek to provide healthy meals and options at lunchtime, for all attending the various therapeutic daytime activity projects here at Caring For Life. Lunchtimes often involve the option of getting involved in a game of football or baseball, and many of the activities at the farm include some healthy exercise.

Our Catering Academy Project Leader, Mark, talking to the group about good and bad sugars.

This week included a special focus on health, with Mark, our Catering Academy Project Leader, speaking about healthy eating and some of the hidden sugars and salt in some foods and drinks.

A healthy lunch followed, with the option of then going on a walk down the valley at Crag House Farm, a beautiful area to explore, which encompasses a good walk!

Helping people to think about healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle can be especially important for any who may not have cared that much about their own wellbeing, and we hope that the special focus on “A Healthy Day” will be really helpful, on into the future.
