VOLUNTEERS are kicking off a new project for Redditch residents with a sizzle as they they host a community barbecue to mark the occasion.
Yum Tum Club and Redditch Mental Health Action Group will be holding the event from noon until 3pm on Easter Monday (March 28) at the Old Needleworks on Britten Street to launch the Jigsaw Project, which is aimed at getting more organisations working together in the town for the benefit of residents’ health.
Guests will be encouraged to get involved in activities such as drumming, a children’s dance workshop and other feel good activities, all served with barbecued food designed to ‘improve your food mood’ – acknowledging the link between eating and mental health.
Fay Yeng, founder of Yum Tum Club said: “The idea of the Jigsaw Project is to bring people together, so what better way than to host a ‘happy food’ barbecue creating a platform to talk freely about ‘mental wealth’.
“During the project, we hope to show how all aspects of health including mental health and healthy eating fit together like a jigsaw forming an overall picture.”
