Bring your tea or coffee and join us for the November Campaigns Breakfast session. This session is open to Sustainable Food Places campaign coordinators, Public Health teams coordinating healthy eating work and organisations focussing on healthy eating and healthy food environments.

The session will be dedicated to exploring issues and barriers experienced by BAME communities around accessing healthy eating messaging, and reflecting opportunities for improving both local and national engagement approaches.

Food for Purpose founder and Sugar Smart Community Sector Ambassador Shola Oladipo will share her extensive working experience and research into engaging and supporting BAME communities and faith groups in south London on healthy eating and lifestyles.

This session will be a space to learn, reflect and engage in discussion around ensuring public health engagement is inclusive and supportive of everyone.
