Healthy Lifestyles



Jackie Cummins Dougan receives a cheque for £7,000 on behalf of Home-Start. This was presented by the Digbeth Trust at The Custard Factory in Birmingham....as part of their Healthy Lifestyles Grants Programme.

Home-Start are embarking on holding a series of valuable workshops to raise Healthy Lifestyles Awareness, including fun exercise classes to music for all the families & their children.

We will also be offering "Ready Steady Cook" workshops, a qualified Nutritionist will demonstrate how easy it is to buy and prepare healthy food on a shoestring budget....Our aim is to ensure that the children especially need to have a clearer understanding of the dangers of fast-food!

Wendy Millichap says "We have identified a need to tackle obesity and urgently need to get the key messages of healthy eating and exercise regimes out to the Home-Start families."

We are extremely grateful to The Digbeth Trust for this essential funding and know that these workshops will make a significant difference to families living in the Winson Green, Handsworth and Sandwell areas who want to live healthier lifestyles.
