A FREE course has begun in Darlington to stir up interest in healthy cooking.

The Get Cooking for Health course has been organised by Skerne Park and Parkside Community Partnership and Darlington Primary Care Trust, to teach people how to create healthy meals on a budget.

The four-session course began this week at Skerne Park Community Centre.

The course aims to bring people together and provide training to help them lead more healthy lives.

Places are still available on the course. For more information, call Joanne Scott on (01325) 388457 or 07966 347109.
