Each weekly session will run for approximately three hours and will include preparing and cooking a meal, followed by a shared meal.
The project will take place in the FRC’s training kitchen on an informal basis (no classes).

At KBFRC, we understand that every stage of family life brings new experiences and challenges.

This autumn we are offering:
Parent Plus Adolescent Programme
Supporting parents and caregivers of young people aged 11–18 years to better understand adolescence, strengthen communication and respond confidently to the challenges of the teenage years.
Non-Violent Resistance Programme
For parents and caregivers of children and young people aged 7–18 years, providing practical, compassionate strategies for responding calmly, safely and effectively to challenging behaviours.
Circle of Security Programme
Helping parents and caregivers of children up to 10 years of age better understand their child’s emotional needs, strengthen attachment and build secure, positive relationships.
These programmes are open to parents, guardians and caregivers. We also encourage teachers, schools, GPs, health professionals and community organisations to share this information with families who may benefit from attending.
If you would like to learn more about any of our programmes or register your interest, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Tommy is a founding member of Stockton’s Wing, and has performed across the globe with some of Ireland’s greatest musicians. His innovative work has pushed the boundaries of Irish percussion, while always staying deeply rooted in tradition.
