The whole family can get involved in activities like preparing and tasting new foods and playing group games, as well as getting lots of practical advice, guidelines and tips on healthy lifestyles.

Change Makers also offer a one- off parent/carers that provides a general overview of healthy living, including useful tips and a Q&A session. The workshop and programme take place at community venues across the county. The programme is rolling and can be joined at any point.
