Training toolkit for community cafés

The toolkit consists of a series of interactive training workshops with supporting material.

The workshops aim to give people a better understanding of some of the food & health topics that underlie the award criteria.It is structured in such a way that community cafés and other groups can deliver the workshops themselves to their own staff and volunteers.
