ABOUT
Nourishing Families CIC supports parents, children and young people to build a lifelong, healthy relationship with food. We offer unique and inspiring workshops and programmes for parents and caregivers, and for children or young people to transform their approach to food and meals. Leading ultimately to happier and healthier children.
Our vision is that we all grow up and live with ease around food to nurture wellbeing.
Nourishing Families CIC is a social enterprise, which means that any profits are reinvested back into the organisation or used to offer subsidised places for those that need them.
Our in-group courses are available across Devon in Plymouth, Torbay and the South Hams. Online provision is also available.
