YMCA Community Meal

As part of their bespoke pathway into employment, Transition2 learners Kristina, Seth and Maddie put their catering and culinary skills to the test by cooking a two course meal for 80 people at the YMCA in Derby for their monthly community meal programme. The cross-sector collaboration saw Marketing Derby Bondholders Vibrant Accountancy provide ingredients and some extra hands to create and serve up a delicious lunch, which was very well received by all.
