Make Every Meal Count

FREE Healthy Eating and Behaviour Change Training for those working with adults or families in West Northants

Public Health in West Northamptonshire have teamed up with Community Health-Works UK CIC to offer free training on healthy eating and lifestyle behaviour change for different groups in the workforce who work directly with adults and families. The training has been very well-received by various teams so far and is relevant to anyone in a client-facing role who works within statutory services or commissioned services working directly with these same client-groups. It is sadly not designed for schools.

Join us for a short introductory session or dive in and book onto the whole training by signing up via the relevant links below.

If you are diving in, choose two of the online sessions OR a whole day face to face workshop to complete the training.

Simply select your preferred dates below or contact Lorraine if you would prefer bespoke training for your serivce or team: info@health-works.co.uk
