Throughout June, Warwickshire County Council is putting a focus on providing support, tips, and resources to help everyone bring healthier choices into their daily routines. Living a healthy and balanced lifestyle improves overall well-being, enhances quality of life and increases life expectancy.
School aged children are offered nutritious balanced meals at Warwickshire’s schools with lots of choice on offer and dietary requirements catered for. This is a convenient option for parents and is available at no cost for children up to Year 2 and those on lower incomes who may be eligible for free school meals. A healthy and balanced meal plays a crucial role in improving children's concentration at school.
Warwickshire County Councillor Sue Markham, portfolio holder for children’s services, said: "We are committed to promoting healthy habits and empowering residents to make informed food choices. By providing resources and information, we hope to inspire families to prioritise healthy eating and cultivate lifelong habits.
“We encourage all our residents, parents/ carers, young people to explore the available resources and take steps towards adopting a balanced diet for themselves and their families. By prioritising healthy eating habits, individuals can enhance their overall well-being and contribute to the positive health outcomes of future generations.”
