Food and Mood

How does food impact our mental health? How can we eat healthily on a budget? How can we scale up or down a recipe according to our needs? How can we adapt meals to be more nutritious? Our popular new course will teach you these skills and give you the opportunity to find out more about how what we eat affects how we feel.


This course will help you explore how to improve your relationship with food and understand more about the links between food, mood and physical health. Each week, you will receive the ingredients for a new recipe, as well as step by step details on how to prepare it. 

During the session, you will have the opportunity to meet new people and chat to our wellbeing team about any specific mental health needs you might have. You will learn more about how to prepare nutritious meals on a budget, how to increase or decrease quantities according to your needs and how eating well can improve your physical health.
