Brand new Healthy Steps Programme for families with children aged 5-11

The Healthy Steps programme has launched! The free 8-week email programme encourages families to eat better and move more, with budget conscious, easy and practical ideas.

Do you have children aged 5-11? If you do, we encourage you to visit www.healthysteps.uk and sign up to the programme!

How does it work?

Parents/carers can sign up at any time by completing a quiz about your current eating and physical activity habits. Once you have completed the quiz, you will receive weekly emails on one of the below themes, tailored to your quiz results

  • Reducing sugar

  • Eating 5 a day

  • Meal planning

The content in the emails will provide families with simple ways to take steps towards healthier behaviours.

As part of the programme, families are set goals or tasks to complete every other week, such as swapping out sugary fizzy drinks, or adding fruit or vegetables to your breakfasts.

Regular feedback points give families the opportunity to celebrate your successes and continue to make positive changes!

Download the free NHS Food Scanner App to find healthier swaps for all of the family, by signing up to the programme, you will have access to easy, healthy recipe cards to inspire you to be able to eat cleaner whilst still loving the taste!
