The Great Big Pan Challenge
The Great Big Pan Challenge Toolkit
The Great Big Pan Challenge was generated by a group of partners across Blackburn with Darwen during the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown of Spring 2020. The challenge was a cooking competition which aimed to engage members of the Blackburn and Darwen communities in a conversation about food and food insecurity.
This toolkit is the complete ‘how-to’ and learnings to help you run your own Great Big Pan Challenge. Interested? Download below.
