Eatwell Group
Newcastle Wellbeing and Health Partnership and Children's Trust are jointly supporting the establishment of a new partnership group - called Eat Well Newcastle. The group will be responsible for joining together the resources and efforts of all organisations, including those of us in voluntary and community sector, to ensure that people of all ages and backgrounds can enjoy a healthy nutritious diet. This is an opportunity not only to look at healthy eating in homes, workplaces, communities, schools and other settings, but also to consider wider issues such as food availability, food growing and food waste. The group will be one of a number of groups looking at different aspects of healthy lifestyles and will report to the Healthy Lifestyles Strategic Board and Children's Be Healthy Partnership. The group met for the first time in October and met again in December to begin to identify themes. The delivery lead for the group is David Stobbs, Health Improvement Lead for Nutrition, Newcastle and North Tyneside Community Health.
The CFI will keep you informed through the website, e-bulletins, newsletters and workshops. The CFI will be representing the food initiatives on this group and will be looking for views and opinions to feedback to the Eat Well group.
