Activity
Volunteers receive training and resources from tastelife so they can run a nine-week course in their local community or online. Churches work with both those those suffering with life-stealing eating issues and those who support them.
Time
The tastelife course runs from a Friday evening to a Sunday afternoon. Every nine-week course, which churches then run, includes two hours per week and around an hour of admin and preparation for each session.
Cost
The weekend residential training costs £495 pp (including accommodation and food). The online training costs £295 pp. This includes full tastelife course materials with week-by-week guides and a manual.
Partnership
We encourage churches to advertise the tastelife course in their local community, through newsletters, church bulletins, and online on social media platforms. It's also helpful to have connections with local GPs, schools and social services who may refer people to your course.
Support
In addition to the training weekend and comprehensive resources, the tastelife team is on hand to provide ongoing support. Additional material are available to support participants who have a Christian faith.
Resources
You'll need to be able to cover the cost of the training, and to have a comfortable welcoming venue to host the training, or the facility to run the course online via Zoom.
People
You'll need two trained volunteers with DBS checks to facilitate the tastelife course. No experience or qualifications are necessary, just a passion to help people and the confidence to deliver the course and to encourage others.
