Cooking Classes for Seniors
Are you finding it hard to get up and feed yourself a good meal, lacking the confidence to make good food and needing some more skills in the kitchen ?
If this sounds like you, perhaps you would like to consider attending our FREE cooking classes starting this Thursday, 25th Feb. They run for 4 weeks and each session is 3 hours long.
During this time you learn about nutrition, meal planning, portion size, food labelling, good food practices and even more. You'll see me demo one of the recipes and then you will make a couple. We then sit down as a group and enjoy lunch. All that for FREE!
You will take home a 50 page recipe booklet to try all the new recipes.
Details of location and times on the poster attached. We need 4 more people to make the numbers up to 12.

🌟 We are now recruiting volunteers at Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman! 🌟
If you are curious about volunteering with us, we would love to hear from you! Training includes supported learning and time alongside an experienced mentor.
“I was surprised by the professionalism of the training. I learned so much about our community, and the support from my mentor helped me find my feet.”
– CAB volunteer
As a CAB volunteer, no two days are the same. One moment you might be helping someone understand their rights after buying something, another you might simply be listening while someone works through a tricky situation. We do not tell people what to do – we help them understand their options and find what works best for them.
While our website is available anytime, many people really value talking with someone face to face. That is why our local offices matter so much.
📍 Our current opening times:
• Richmond (main office), 9a Cambridge Street: Monday to Thursday, 9am-4.30pm
• Nelson: Mondays and Fridays, 9am-4.30pm, sharing space with Age Concern, 18 Bridge Street
• Motueka: Thursdays, 9.30am–1pm at the Motueka Library (reopening soon!)
To offer this free service to everyone in our community, we rely on well-trained volunteers.
