About Cookley Cooking Kids

The Cookley Cooking Kids is a young enterprise project, originally delivered as a programme at Cookley Youth Club. A group of local young people were tasked with developing and creating a healthy eating cookbook, which other young people in their community would be able use and enjoy. As they progressed through the process they gained online digital badges for each enterprise task completed… and finally leading to the production and sale of the first Cookley Cooking Kids cookbook, themed around ‘Healthy Breakfasts’.

Following a programme (now the Digital Badge IT C.I.C. Junior Cookbook Enterprise Programme), young entrepreneurs started the process by designing bespoke branding for the cookbook, which included a logo, name and mascot. As well as gaining young enterprise skills in branding, market research, sponsorship, fundraising & finance – young entrepreneurs also created multi media to accompany the cookbook, including augmented reality animations and creating YouTube videos.

The founding members of Cookley Cooking Kids are : Luke Slinger, Archie Wright, Henry Higgs, Essie Wright & Jack Hale.
