Yes, we love learning about nutrition, trying new recipes and sharing delicious food together. But there's so much more to our monthly sessions.

It's about taking a little time for yourself, meeting other women, sharing experiences, having a laugh and learning something new along the way.

There's no pressure to know anything about nutrition or be a confident cook. Just come as you are, get involved as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, and enjoy being part of a friendly, supportive group.

We believe that looking after our wellbeing isn't just about what we eat. Feeling connected, supported and having opportunities to try new things matter too.

And if we can do all that over some delicious food, even better! 🥗

We'd love to welcome you to our next Nourish & Flourish session. 💚 Sessions take place on the first Saturday of every month. For more information, get in touch via email [email protected] or call 01670 238747.

🎃 PUMPKIN CLUB - From Patch to Plate! 🎃

We're extra excited about this half-term day of fun!

First, we'll have a run around the garden with an autumn treasure hunt.
Then, we'll head inside to carve and decorate our own pumpkins and get some spooke (or not spooky!) facepainting! 👻

Then we'll head into the kitchen to bake delicious pumpkin spice cupcakes and enjoy a homemade pumpkin mac & cheese lunch together.

A lovely opportunity to get creative, learn about growing food and celebrate the autumn harvest!

⏰ 11am - 2pm
📍 Full Circle Food Project, Hirst Park, Ashington

Got a bike you no longer use?

Donate it to Ashington Cycle Hub and help us get more people cycling!

Our team assesses, repairs and refurbishes donated bikes, giving them a new lease of life while helping people access affordable cycling.

If you have a bike gathering dust in your shed or garage, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact us so we can check whether we can accept it and arrange a drop-off or in some cases a collection. Or pop in on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

Ashington Cycle Hub, The Growing Zone, Hirst Park
01670 238747

Please share and help us find bikes ready for their next adventure! The proceeds from the donated bikes go towards the Cycle Hub, so people can access low-cost servicing and repairs, group rides and learn-to-ride sessions.

Let’s Grow Newbiggin

We popped out to plant a donated rose from resident June 🌺🌺 and cornflowers in our King Georges road space today.

Finally it’s getting cool enough for roses , fruit trees and bulbs ( though not tulips who wait til mid Nov onward ) and for annuals like cornflowers who get a good head start by planting now.

Like our new sign ? The 2nd here , but we persist 😊.

We were having so much fun at the last Nourish and Flourish event that we didn't end up taking many photos! 🌿

This month we got stuck into all things gut health, exploring what our gut microbiome is, why fibre and plant variety matter, and some simple, affordable ways we can support our gut through the foods we eat.

Then we put it all into practice! Everyone created their own colourful, plant-packed lunch bowl, choosing from wholegrains, beans, vegetables, nuts, seeds and more. 🥕🥦🫘

Hopefully everyone went home with the reminder that looking after your gut doesn't need to mean expensive supplements or a complete diet overhaul. Everyday foods count, small changes count, and simply adding a little more variety where you can is a great place to start.

And, as always, there was plenty of chatting, sharing, eating and laughing along the way with this lovely group of women. 💛

Booking for November is now open! To book, get in touch via email [email protected] or call 01670 238747.

A little look at what's been cooking in our Full Circle kitchen lately!

From hearty braised beef casserole with dumplings and mince & onion pie, to delicious lemon cheesecake and homemade scones with jam and cream - Yum 😋

And of course, we're making the most of the fresh greens still coming from our Community Garden, grown and harvested by our wonderful volunteers just outside the kitchen door.

Through our Meals That Matter project, we're bringing nutritious, home-cooked meals to older residents in Ashington, with a little something sweet to enjoy too.

Good food, locally grown ingredients and lots of care from our kitchen team 💚
