schemes like ‘Fare Share’ and ‘Neighbourly’ which supply unwanted excess food, the kitchen is not only able to provide healthy and nutritious food for our patients but also reduce costs for the hospice and use resources as effectively as possible.

heart of Oakhaven and is run by a wonderful team who are passionate about providing patients with healthy and nutritious food which is acknowl- edged as one of the foundations of holistic healthcare. One of the kitchen’s many achievements is the Bereavement Cook- ing School. Cookery classes bring together the recently bereaved; they are taught basic kitchen skills and cooking tech- niques alongside others who are in a similar situ- ation of having to prepare

nutritious meals. There is a relaxed approach to the classes, no scary cookbooks with lengthy recipes. “A dollop of this and a blob of that, then taste it!” the kitchen team teach the basics of home cooking and the students enjoy the fruits of their labour when everyone sits down together to enjoy great food and good company. Many friendships have been formed through our cookery classes, it is a social environment that has grown into our Wednesday Lunch Club

that is held weekly at the Coates Centre. “…Your simple hand’s on approach has given us all the confidence to try new recipes and techniques, knowing that the end result will be a meal to be proud of.” “You have helped me get back on my feet!” Cooking delicious home cooked food for patients, family, visitors and our staff is at the heart of our kitchen.
