It was lovely to see both new and familiar faces at this morning's Changes - Fussy Eating session at West Bromwich Library.

Participants appreciated meeting others experiencing feeding challenges and were encouraging and supportive of each other. They were also really grateful for the Changes programme, which is funded by Sandwell Council.

Feedback from the session was very positive:
"Great session. Brilliant teaching."
"Really useful and helpful event."
"Very informative."
"Really good session, very useful information, lovely trainer!"

Postponed from last week!

This week at NAF - Northfield Arts Forum, our focus is on plant-based proteins such as beans and pulses.

In tomorrow's NAF CAF, we will grow our own beansprouts, plant some peas and guess the number of beans in a jar.

In Cooking with NAF on Friday, we'll be making spring vegetable and butter bean pasta.

I am looking forward to hearing the group's food memories and sharing how to make healthier versions of a favourite dish.
