“They also support local suppliers and promote good honest food using local ingredients.

“The donation will provide funds to encourage vulnerable children to come into the cookery school and learn vital life skills.”

Brooks and Brooks Recruitment specialises in health and social care recruitment and also works with local authorities to provide residential care and supported living.

Saddleworth Cookery School offers one-off speciality classes, workshops and short courses for adults and children, as well as seasonal and speciality sessions and parties.

Pam Jones, owner, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Brooks and Brooks Recruitment for their kind donation.

“At Saddleworth Cookery School, we pride ourselves in offering ‘more than just cooking’ and are looking forward to using this generous gift to help vulnerable children and young adults who might otherwise be excluded.

“Our unique learning environment and passion allows us to nurture cookery skill and also encourage independence, self-confidence and an interest in health and nutrition.

“We already have plans as to how we can maximise the opportunities such a valuable donation can bring and are looking forward to putting these plans into action.”
