There are many fun, simple and inexpensive healthy eating initiatives you can offer at work.

You can provide information, offer opportunities to eat well, or adjust the environment to help people make healthier choices.

Information and awareness raising

We're more likely to change our eating habits if we're aware of the benefits of well-balanced diet, and what options are available.

Individual and group activity ideas

It can be a challenge to get people to eat healthily - no one likes to be told what they can't eat or drink.

But a healthy diet doesn't have to be boring or restrictive! Challenge people's perceptions with cookery workshops, food fairs and events - whip up their interest with exciting new recipes and ideas!

Supportive environment

The facilities available at work will make it easier or harder for people to eat well and drink sensibly.

Good facilities show employers that the management values healthy eating practices and cares about staff welfare.
