Confident Nutrition is a business which will provide practical training and consultancy in cookery and basic nutrition to the Welsh Assembly Government and statutory, voluntary and community programmes promoting the well being and development of children, families and adults in Wales. The business is located in Swansea, however, its remit will be Wales wide. Confident Nutrition attracts a range of customers, looking to build their own or service users (clients and members of community/statutory programmes)skills and knowledge regarding healthy cooking and lifestyle choice's. The target group would include statutory, voluntary and community based organisations in addition to individuals  looking to improve their life skills around food and nutrition, and promote the development of healthy living for families.

Training can be accredited or non- accredited, depending on the clients needs.  Training programmes can range from an hour on an in house talk on nutrition with demonstrations of healthy recipes  or a full ten week practical and theoretical based training course on food and nutrition.

Training packages can also extend into non-nutrition based courses such as OCN's in community development and mentoring. While not initially envisaged as a core activity, I am experienced and suitably qualified to deliver this and there is already a demand for it with one small contract already secured.

Consultancy is an advisory service to organisations who do not require training but who are looking for a range of services such as skills diagnostic, kitchen management, policy and planning and higher level briefings for related professionals working in the social area. The double advantage of consultancy work is that it will often lead to training opportunities
