I only just learnt of this local group. This is a great initiative for older men to gather together and learn cooking skills and also grow their social network.
Forest Men’s Kitchen requests your assistance.
Many older men have never had the need or desire to spend any time in the kitchen, but now in their later years have either realised that they may need to cook for themselves sometime in the future or are already in the situation where they must cook at home. Also, many blokes having left work have lost a lot of the social contact they once had while they were employed.
Forest Men’s Kitchen provides opportunities for older men to gather together and learn cooking skills and also build their support network.
In order to keep our costs to members within the reach of a bloke on the aged pension, we rely heavily on grants from our supporting organisations. However, during these strange pandemic times the likelihood of the Forest Men’s Kitchen receiving our usual grants looks less likely. Some months ago, as the president and founder of the Forest Men’s Kitchen, Peter Watson was nominated as a candidate in the Westfield Local Heros award program and that award carries a $10,000 prize with it. To help win this award and contribute $10K to the Forest Men’s Kitchen we would really welcome your vote for Peter Watson by clicking on the link below, scrolling down to his entry and pressing the “Vote Now” button under that entry.
We also urge you to also share this post with your Facebook friends and groups to ask them to cast a vote for Peter Watson.
