About this cause

Waltham Abbey Youth 2000 (WAY 2000) seeks to improve sporting, leisure, cultural, education and employment opportunities for the young people of Waltham Abbey. We believe that all our young people deserve a safe and healthy environment, should have facilities which enable them to make gainful use of their leisure time, should understand their duties and responsibilities both to themselves and the community at large and take responsibility for their own actions. We provide a range of leisure facilities and a Counselling service. We also provide a cookery club, WAY2COOK to encourage young people aged 11-16 to eat healthily and provide a wide range of traditional British and International recipes for them to enjoy. They also make cakes for fund raising activities and competitions.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Essex County Council obesity statistics show that there is a particular issue amongst 10 to 12 year olds in Waltham Abbey. The participants will be able to take the food samples home to share with their families. They will also be able to take recipes home so that the whole family will be able to benefit from the healthy recipes.
