The Pasty Box CIC

Description

The Pasty Box give primary school children across Cornwall the practical skills and confidence to cook healthy food.

They deliver hands-on cooking programmes and provide ingredient boxes to encourage children to continue cooking at home, extending their impact beyond the classroom. Schools report increased confidence and improved behaviour, with every school they have worked with choosing to return. However, demand is growing faster than their capacity, with the founder currently delivering most sessions.

The Pasty Box will use our funding to build capacity for their next stage of growth, increasing the Director’s time to develop new income streams through festivals, commercial workshops and pasty-making kits. It will also support the training of new facilitators, helping them double the number of schools they reach.
