Wiggly Charity (formerly known as The Wiggly Worm) makes a difference to people's lives by creating opportunities through practical experiences and challenges in the world of food. 

We work to improve health, well-being and self-esteem amongst the vulnerable, disadvantaged or seldom heard, using food in practical ways to deliver physical and mental health benefits, creating better chances for all.

Wiggly Charity runs cookery courses for adults and children to build kitchen skills and develop confidence in the kitchen.  We are a community based organisation working across Gloucestershire.
