It is centred around food preparation, cooking and service. The program will bring together up to 10 people per day in a purpose built modified

OKH is being run by JewishCare in partnership with Our Big Kitchen, who have been an innovator and leader in community
cooking.
 

I would ask is that she comes with support on that day as it would be the first time we would meet her. On the day I would do a quick assessment to see what supports she would need if she decides to attend on a regular basis.

Note:  New visitors/first time visitors should come with support on the first day so that we can do a quick assessment to see what supports are needed if the person decides to attend on a regular basis.

You are in good hands!
