Simply Good Food- Educating our community to eat well... simply.

The 'Simply Good Food' van project is about educating families/our community to eat better, and to make nutritious choices for their families. It's about passing on knowledge and demonstrating how to do this in practical, visual and hands on ways. The project will include refurbishing a food van.
The van would be able to be used in our local schools and community events for a variety of activities. These activities include: Health Promotion Days, Breakfast Club mornings, Sports Days, Commerce & Business Activities for students and Cooking demonstrations
Also students with hospitality skills can gain work experience through community

Our communities health and wellbeing is an issue that needs to be addressed. Many illnesses, life threatening diseases and behavioral issues with our children can be directly related to what we are eating. Things like : obesity, heart disease, lethargy, difficulty concentrating, low energy and skin diseases.
A food education van can do a few things: it can be used to educate parents and children (but particularly parents) in a practical and simple hands on way through cooking demonstrations where they can see, touch and taste the food. It means we can encourage parents to provide better nutritious food.
