Cosy Kitchen...
Why not come along to a Cosy Kitchen session? They are held every Tuesday between 12:30 and 14.00 at Thornhill Community Centre in Leadon Court, Thornhill.
Cosy Kitchen is a great place to make friends and find out what is going on in the area. Cosy Kitchen Meals - which vary from home made soups to full two-course meals - are cooked by volunteers which means that they are available in exchange for a small donation (to cover costs). During Cosy Kitchen, you can also take advantage of the Food Coop where you can pre-order bags of fruit, salad and/or vegetables for £2.50 for a bag. Fresh Barn eggs are also available at 55p for 6.
Gateway Credit Union, Want 2 Work, Bridges into Work and representativies from other agencies are also available to talk to should you want help or advice.
