Black and Minority Ethnic Groups
The Food Standards Agency Wales has published a review of dietary interventions in black and minority ethnic (BME) groups across the UK. The overall aim of the work was to analyse the BME situation in Wales, review dietary interventions in BME groups and to recommend which interventions and models might be most applicable for piloting with ethnic communities in Wales.
Get Cooking!
The aim of 'Get Cooking!' is to provide trainers with a toolkit to teach young people, broadly between the ages of 14 and 25, some basic cooking skills in a community setting.
Healthy Options Award
The Healthy Options award has been developed in partnership with Welsh Local Authorities, CIEH Wales, the Welsh Assembly Government and the National Public Health Service for Wales to reward caterers throughout Wales who make it easier for consumers to make healthy choices when eating out of the home.
Physical Activity and Nutrition Network for Wales
In 2003, after extensive consultation, Food and well-being – reducing inequalities through a nutrition strategy for Wales, was launched, it outlined the action required by key players to improve the diets of people in Wales.
Schools
The Food Standard Agency Wales carries out many activities to help encourage schools to adopt a 'whole school' approach to diet and nutrition and to help young people better understand the relationship between diet and health, help them make more informed food choices and gain the skills to safely prepare healthy meals.
