Spanish omelette was the dish in today's cooking session with our service users. People taking part picked spinach, parsley and thyme they had helped grow in the Crow garden and used it to make the omelette super tasty.
Thanks to the The National Lottery Community Fund for helping fund the project

Hereward College The National Lottery Community Fund

CROW Recycling’s volunteers had a warm welcome from Hereward College’s hospitality students.

The Crow volunteers were invited for brunch at the Hereward College cafe where college students learn hospitality and catering skills.

The event was chance for Hereward students to show off their skills making and serving a brunch complete with egg, bacon and sausage sandwiches, pastries and hot drinks. The students provided table service, cooked up tasty treats and ensured that allergies were taken into account making everyone feel safe and welcome.

Crow volunteers also had chance to learn. They do regular cookery sessions at Crow with produce harvested from the garden and the visit was chance to find out about the more commercial side of catering.

Office manager Lucy Lynch said: “A dull January day was brightened up by our trip to Hereward College. It was a learning experience but it also brought people together. Some of our volunteers used to be Hereward College students and it was nice for them to catch up with their former lecturers and support workers.

“Bringing people together and creating a sense of community is a huge part of what we do at Crow.”

The visit was funded by an Awards for All National Lottery grant – a big thank you to the National Lottery ticket buyers who helped make it happen.

Hereward College in Bramston Crescent, Tile Hill, Coventry, provides further education for people aged 16 to 25 with disabilities.

Crow Recycling in Sparkbrook Street, Hillfields, Coventry, is a registered charity providing work placements and volunteering opportunities for people with disabilities, mainly learning difficulties.

Crow Recycling's volunteers, staff and supporters gathered for a 40th anniversary celebration this week.
Longstanding volunteer David Wood teamed up with chairman of trustees Bill Smith to cut a celebration cake.
Those gathered remembered Crow Recycling's late founder Barbara Cowling, pictured here not long after founding Crow. Her kindness and determination helped turn an idea into a community recycling scheme.
