Free food advice to make ends meet

Free food sessions to help King’s Lynn residents trying to make ends meet, due to increasing food costs, have returned. Lily, a service that is owned and managed by the Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk, is organising the interactive sessions with partners Freebridge Housing Association and the College of West Anglia from external funding received from The East Coast Community Fund. ‘Food for thought’ sessions are held most Fridays between 9:30am and 11:30am at North Lynn’s Discovery Centre to help residents cook healthy and nutritious meals on a budget as well as tasting sessions and blind taste tests, comparing alternatives to some of the costly big brands. West Norfolk residents are able to take away skills that help them cook on a budget, find cheaper supermarket swaps, batch cook, make healthy “fake-away” meals and learn how to make meals go further. Free sessions take place on the following Fridays from 9.30am to 11.30am. There’s no need to book in advance, just turn up.
