Everyday Foodies

The Everyday Foodies program, developed by the South West Healthcare Health Promotion department aims to build the skills and confidence of community members to help make positive changes to healthy eating in the communities in which they live, work, learn or play.

Everyday Foodies attend a FREE half day workshop with the Health Promotion team, which will provide a basic understanding of healthy eating, the things that influence a community’s ability to eat healthy foods and generate ideas for healthy eating activities and messages that people can embed within their practice and circles of influence.

Everyday Foodies are:

• Passionate about the health and wellbeing of their communities
• Eager to learn more about how they can promote the joys of nutritious food in their communities
• Want to engage people in conversations and positive experiences with food
• Keen to become a positive agent for change within their communities

Please note – at this time, workshops are only available for workplaces, established community groups or community services.

Everyday Foodies will be provided with ongoing support and information, enabling them to share key healthy eating messages and take action to reduce barriers to healthy eating within their communities. All actions will be unique to the needs of the participants and the community.

• Understanding of key healthy eating messages
• Understanding of what influences a person’s ability to access and consume healthy foods
• Know what it means to be an Everyday Foodie
