We are delighted to announce that Project Food has been awarded funding from The National Lottery Community Fund Awards for All programme!

Thanks to this support, we will be delivering five "Cooking with Diabetes" courses across Sidmouth, Ottery St Mary, Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth and Chard over the next year.

These hands-on courses will help adults living with, or at risk of, Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes to:
✅ Understand how food affects their health
✅ Cook nutritious, affordable meals
✅ Learn meal planning and budgeting skills
✅ Read food labels with confidence
✅ Reduce social isolation and connect with others
✅ Build the knowledge and confidence needed to manage their condition

The project was developed in direct response to local need. We've spoken with people living with diabetes and pre-diabetes, local support groups, GPs and specialist diabetes nurses, all of whom highlighted the need for practical, community-based education and support.

We are incredibly grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund and to all National Lottery players whose support makes projects like this possible.

Our project was made possible thanks to players.
Keep an eye on our page for course dates and referral information coming soon!
