Families with children
Nutrition is essential to giving children a healthy start in life and good food habits learned at home can stay for a lifetime. We work to highlight good practice in community food projects and support the development of cooking skills sessions for parents and carers.
Our plan for 2022/2023
CFHS is currently working with the Scottish Government, community food networks and our colleagues in Public Health Scotland to plan how the community food sector can be supported in the future.
