This week at Pulling Together the group met for an extra session but not in our usual Limelight Centre. This week we all met up at Manchester Piccadilly  Station and caught the train to Liverpool. Some of the young women had asked their mum’s to come with us to see China’s Terracotta Army at the World Museum in Liverpool. A great day out was had by all of us and it was a very interesting exhibition and a wonderful chance to discover what Liverpool has to offer.

This week at Pulling Together we finally got to see the finished book for Relationship Realities. Thank you to Fiona and all the members of the group who helped make this wonderful, colourful, informative and interactive book. All the members agreed that it was a lot of fun preparing the content for our book.

This week at Pulling Together we held our National Vegetarian Week session for the third year in a row. Thank you to all of the members who attended and for all of the wonderful vegetarian dishes that were created.

All of the members who attended agreed that the session was a success as usual and that they would try to increase the number of vegetarian dishes they would try.

This week at Pulling Together we held our Annual General Meeting. Thank you to all those committee members that attended and those  members who have held posts on the committee for the last year, thank you for your continued support. We also held the planning meeting for our National Vegetarian Week session to be held on Friday 18th May. An invitation was sent to all committee members and their friends.

This week at Pulling Together we have created all of the pages for the Relationship Realities Book. The group was busy making sure that all of pages have come together and are now looking forward to seeing the finished book in a few weeks.

This week at Pulling Together we continued with designing our Relationship Realities fold out book. We chose the images that were to be used and created stencils for these. Then the group cut out trial images using coloured card before we use the ripstop fabric next week.

This week the group moved  to The Limelight Centre in Old Trafford. Thank you to all those who attended our first session and lets hope that the group continues to see new faces. A special thank you to Saika Ahmed who made cupcakes for all the group.

The group went on a trip to Parrswood Bowling as part of our A-Z of Mental Health and Wellbeing project. At the end of the evening everyone agreed that being able to relax, enjoy yourself and get some excercise was a great way to spend a few hours.

This week at Pulling Together was our 2nd National Vegetarian  Week cooking session. Thank you to The Vegetarian Society for their continued support.

We had a wonderful session in which everyone took some of the ingrdiants  and prepared their family favourite recipes. These included chana pilau, pakora, chana chaat, aloo tikki, pasta, cous cous, mango lassi and minted pineapple. Everyone had a wonderful evening and of course the best part was being able to share the food and stories of how these recipes came about.
