Would you like to get a FREE air fryer or microwave to take home and use? The Cedarwood Trust has a selection of air fryers and microwaves to give away, FREE, to the community.

Air fryers are an amazing low-cost option to using a traditional oven, using less energy and cooking food quicker. Microwaves are a fantastic solution to reheating food, so you can save leftovers and reheat them later in minutes without having to cook a full meal again!

All you need to do is sign up to and pass our FREE Level 2 Food Hygiene course. It's totally free and can be completed online at home. You can then come along to our cookery class at the Linskill Centre in North Shields where you'll learn some new recipes, and get some ingredients to take home with your new appliance.

Courses are on a Monday from 1pm till 2pm, starting from 13th June. If you need transport to the Linskill Centre, we can arrange that for you.

To register your interest, simply get in touch via the form below, and we'll get you started! Or give us a call on 0330 094 8454 for more info.
