 OsNosh director Ben Wilson leads a pilot session to introduce the new cookery course
Cookery Classes on the Menu as Community Kitchen and Housing Group Join Forces
Tenants with a Shropshire housing organisation are being given the chance to cook up a treat at a series of free workshops with a community kitchen.
Shropshire Towns and Rural housing and OsNosh have joined forces to offer special cookery courses which will help tenants cook up tasty and cost-effective meals so that they can eat well for less.
The courses will consist of three one-hour classes with all ingredients and equipment provided, as well as recipe cards and a meal. Every household taking part will receive a free slow cooker to help them produce their own healthy and tasty meals from low-cost ingredients in a way that is energy efficient.
They launched on February 8th with the first course fully booked, but places are still available at some workshops - see the events section below for more information.
Sessions will be held in Oswestry and surrounding villages with plans to have workshops in the South of the County later this year. All ingredients and equipment are provided, as well as recipes cards and a meal. Help with travel can be arranged and any extra support needed can be discussed.
Every household taking part in the course will also receive a free slow cooker with the aim of helping tenants produce their own healthy and tasty meals from low cost ingredients in a way that is energy efficient.
Ayyaz Ahmed, STAR housing’s head of neighbourhoods said the organisation was delighted to have started cookery workshops in partnership with OsNosh.
“The workshops are one of our responses to the current cost of living crisis, which we know is having a detrimental impact within our communities. We hope that the workshops will have an ongoing and positive impact to our residents by providing them with the knowledge and resources to make their food go further.
“We would like to encourage all our residents of any ability to get involved with this new initiative, which we plan to continue to offer in more locations throughout 2023,” he said.
He added that STAR housing could arrange help with travel and any extra support and the scheme would be rolled out across south Shropshire later in the year.
To register for a place or find out more, visit the Star Housing website, speak to a housing officer or drop into OsNosh on Willow Street.

Charity Governance Awards Accepting Entries
The Charity Governance Awards is an exciting not-for-profit initiative created to celebrate outstanding governance and trusteeship in charities across the UK, allowing large and small not-for-profit organisations to inspire and learn from one another.
These are the only charity awards designed to celebrate trustees, are free to enter (with a free awards ceremony), and do not generate profit for the sponsors or partners. Their mission is to encourage and celebrate success in charity governance.
Effective governance makes a difference. By sharing examples of inspirational trustees and brilliant boards, they want to show how good governance and doing good go hand-in-hand.
For its eighth year, the Charity Governance Awards will recognise inspirational success stories of bold trustee leadership with a new category aiming to understand how bold and ambitious trustee leadership is generating meaningful change and addressing systemic problems affecting the third sector and society at large (such as the climate emergency, cost of living crisis, poverty, racism and more.
Recurring categories focus on small charities that have improved impact during the difficult past few years as well as trustees boards that have made long-term improvements by embracing and transforming with digital. An ongoing area of focus for the awards is equity, diversity and inclusion in charity governance – never more needed as trustees and charities strive to understand and support their communities during hardship, crisis, and systemic challenges.
Boards demonstrating outstanding governance and trusteeship are urged to share their own examples of best practice.
National and local charities, large and small, are encouraged to participate. Entry is free; the deadline has been extended to 8 March 2023.

Funded by the players of People’s Postcode Lottery, the Postcode Local Trust offers grants of between £500 and £25,000 to not-for-profit organisations with an income of less than £1 million in the most recent financial year. Preference will be given to organisations with an income of less than £500,000.

These grants are intended for constituted organisations with no charity number, excepted and exempted charities and companies limited by guarantee with an asset lock

These grants are intended for community interest companies with an asset lock (schedule 1 and 2 only), community benefit societies, and charities registered with the Charity Commission.

- Preventing or reducing the impact of poverty
- Supporting marginalised groups and tackling inequality

Funding for Armed Forces Day Events 2023

Local councils, voluntary and community organisations, schools, ex-service organisations and individuals can apply for grants of up to £10,000 for activities taking place across the UK.
This grant is match funded and can cover up to half the total cost of the event. For example, if the total cost of the event is £10,000 and £5,000 has been raised, the grant could cover up to £5,000.
The 2023 event should be held within two weeks of the Armed Forces Day, which falls in the last weekend of June 2023.
In the past, ideas for activities have included the following:
- Picnic in the park.
- Themed BBQ.

- Street party.
- Fete.
The funding can be used to pay for:
- Road closures required to hold an event, including to allow for parades and marches.
- Decorations, flags and banners.
- Local or national newspaper and radio advertisements to promote the event.
- Marshalling, security and first aid arrangements for the event.
- Insurance.
- PA and communications systems for events organisers.
Groups must register their event before they can access the funding criteria.
Please note the MOD has made two notable changes to the programme this year: the application deadline has been moved from the first of March to the end of March, and payment of the grant is now by credit card (not by BACs transfer).
The deadline to apply for 2023 event funding is 31 March 2023. For more information and to apply, visit the Armed Forces Day website.
UK Government’s £150m Community Ownership Fund
Third Bidding Window Now Open
The £150 million Community Ownership Fund aims to support charities and community groups across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to take ownership of assets which are at risk of being lost to the community. It will run for four years (until 2024/25) with three bidding windows per year.
Groups can bid for up to £250,000 match funding or in exceptional cases up to £1 million for larger sporting assets at risk of loss.
The Fund will support community ownership projects where the assets make the biggest difference to the local place.
Projects need to fulfil one or a combination of the following aims:
- Acquire a physical community asset at risk, such as land and buildings which deliver a benefit to local people.
- Renovate, repair or refurbish the asset, only where it is a community asset at risk of closure and where this is critical to saving the asset and making it sustainable for long-term community use.
- Set up a new community business or buy an existing business in order to save an asset of importance to the community.
- The purchase of associated stock, collections or intellectual property, where it is associated with buying a physical asset or buying a business to save an asset.
- Move a community asset to a new, more appropriate location within the same community. This might be because a different location offers better value to continue the asset, or because the venue is in itself an asset of community value.
There is a two-stage application process with an initial Expression of Interest stage to determine eligibility and bid readiness followed by a detailed application stage. The EOI stage is always open. However, those who apply during the current application window will be informed of the outcome of their application in summer 2023.
The deadline for expressions of interest to the third window of Round two is 24 March 2023 with the deadline for full applications on 14 April 2023. Full information and application can be found on the Community Ownership fund web page.
