What we have done so farin December and January!
There has been 9 Change4Life events in
Herefordshire so far. The 2 Christmas Grotto
events were held at Belmont Community Centre,
where the Change4Life team spoke to approximately
400 families who live in Herefordshire.
There have been Change4Life walks held on
Saturday mornings through-out January at Hinton,
Ross-On-Wye and Eardisley. These walks finished
at a community centre or village hall, where a
C4L promotion event was held. These events
included The Secret Sugar show, the Fats of Life,
Tasters sessions including The Bush Tucker Trial,
Health Trainer stand, Wii Fits and lots of C4L
giveaways!
The C4L team have also attended 2 Hinton Baby
Yoga sessions where information was provided
alongside the Secret Sugar show and the Fats of
Life.
The team has also delivered Supermarket tours in
Tesco and Asda, in Belmont. There will be future
supermarket tours in the Co-op, Morrisons, Tesco
and Asda in Hereford, Ross-On-Wye and Leominster.

Change4life at Belmont Christmas Grotto
The Change4Life team had a presence at the
Belmont Community Centres Christmas grotto on
the 12th and 19th December. After the children
had met Santa, they could then take part in some
of the C4L activities and were given a Satsuma,
along with lots of C4L leaflets, wall charts and
stickers!
At this event the Change4Life team worked closely
with the Health Trainers, offering information
and help for families wanting to make changes to
get healthy, but also more specific help was
provided by the Health Trainers for the parents
who had shown an interest in stopping smoking,
reducing alcohol intake, losing weight and
becoming more active!

Hinton Community Centre
the fats of life demo
It can be confusing trying to sort out the Facts
on Fats. This short session helps people
understand about where fats are found in food,
and how to eat the right amount to keep healthy.
The C4L team have shown families lots of
practical tips and ideas, helped with reading
food labels and offering free taster samples of
healthy foods!

Wii fit
Ross-On-Wye
The Bush Tucker Trial gets kids trying new,
healthy foods that they will be unfamiliar with
and have probably never eaten for before! The
activity will also increase their knowledge of
good foods, helping them become more interested
in what they eat.
I cant believe my daughter tried and liked
dried apricotnow I can buy it, confident that
she will eat it!

Supermarket Tours at Tescos and ASDA in Belmont
The Change4Life Supermarket tour is a chance to
put changes into practice, with a little help
from the Change4Life team! A display in the
foyer with information, leaflets to take away and
plenty of helpful staff to answer any questions
encourages people to come and see what we were
doing! There is then the opportunity to be
accompanied around the supermarket by one of the
team who helped with choosing healthier versions
of the usually bought foods. The Supermarket
tours helped the people of Herefordshire achieve
Top Tips 1,2,4,5 and 6!
