In March, The National Federation of Plus Areas (“National”) offered an opportunity to members to obtain a CIEH Level Two in Food Hygiene. This is an industry standard qualification that enables the successful participants to work in food services, catering and manufacturing. For Plus members as event organisers it enables them to prepare food; to run food stalls and serve freshly cooked food at public events such as carnivals, fairs, barbecues etc.
Francis Wallington, the course leader and a Vice-President of Plus, has been delivering this course and qualification for twenty years to colleagues involved in food processing from shop floor worker to director. National subsidised the cost to Plus members. It was well attended (in fact, fully booked) and we are very much hoping that following the success of this event, Francis will consider running another some time in the future.
Just one of the diverse opportunities open to Plus members from time to time!!
