Congratulations to Gill Barker for being awarded this years Food Hero by the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership. Gill was volunteering with the food partnership for her HE713 community placement module,
Gill (pictured centre, in picture) volunteered with several projects including healthy weight, community cookery sessions and the dementia gardening and cookery project. Having never worked with dementia before, the dementia projects were some of the most rewarding and added a new dimension to thinking about ’empowerment’ aspects of health promotion.
