Children and families enjoyed free food and activities at Lakenham Primary School, Norwich, courtesy of Norse catering. Norse provides over 25,000 primary school meals every day in Norfolk and Suffolk.

These weekly events over the course of the Summer holidays have been co-ordinated by Healthy Norwich. Community nursery nurses/practitioners from Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust took part in the project to improve outcomes for children and their families in Norwich.  Each week has been themed, with partner agencies involved and all invited families receiving a free meal and the opportunity to receive advice on a variety of topics.

Lynn George, Nursery Nurse said: “We held a mini advice hub for adults to gain advice whilst their children ate and played outside and took part in fun physical activities. The hubs provided information on healthy eating including what to have in a healthy lunchbox, nutritional advice and also sun safety.

“The event was a huge success with nearly 50 children and their families enjoying the fun activities.”
