If you’re 14–25 and want to help shape youth programs, help plan events, and make sure young people in our area are heard, we want you with us.

No experience is needed. You’ll learn new skills, meet other young people, and gain real experience volunteering in youth and community services. Just bring your ideas and a bit of time each month.

Here's the story, of a ham after Christmas... 🎶

Hmm, that sounded better in my head. 🤔

Anyway. If your bunch hasn't finished that Christmas ham yet, this is how to avoid food poisoning. 🤮

Your ham should still be groovy to eat now if:
> it came from a butcher or supermarket and was pre-cooked
> it's been stored in the freezer OR loosely wrapped in a water and vinegar-soaked cloth and stored in the fridge (under 5°C)
> the use-by date is still good and it hasn't spoiled.

Pre-cooked or ready-to-eat whole ham will keep for up to two weeks in the fridge, or can be frozen for up to three months. ❄️

Cooked sliced ham will keep for three to five days in the fridge, or a month in the freezer in a sealed, air-tight container. Add a folded piece of paper towel in with the ham to soak up moisture.

You need to throw out your ham if it:
> feels slimy, wet or sticky to touch
> looks dull, grey or brown
> has a bitter or sour taste
> is growing mould.

Have fun, kids! 😊
