🍏This week is Healthy Eating Week!
Organised by the British Nutrition Foundation, this year’s theme ‘For Everyone’ focuses on ensuring ‘Everyone can access healthy, sustainable diets’. With family budgets stretched and food prices at a 45-year high, the charity is determined to provide free, evidence-based advice and support for everyone who wants to eat a healthier diet.
All childcare settings and schools are encouraged to get involved with Heathy Eating Week and there are a number of free resources and recipes available on the website. Find out more and register here.
