Healthy Start Training

We provide bite-sized training sessions and resources to healthcare providers, community organisations, local groups and childcare providers across Hampshire about Healthy Start.

Do you talk about Healthy Start?

Not enough families who might be eligible for the support know about it. This NHS scheme helps eligible families buy healthy food and milk, and access free vitamins, giving children the best possible start in life. We want more parents across Hampshire to hear about it, feel confident applying, and start using the pre-paid card to make healthy choices for their children.

Here’s where you can help >>>

We’d love you to start conversations and raise awareness of the scheme with the families you work with. Join our training and we’ll give you the knowledge and tools to champion Healthy Start in your work and support families to access the funding available to them. Every conversation you start could make a real difference to a family’s health and future.

We’re partnering with Hampshire County Council to promote Healthy Start and increase uptake in the county because too many eligible families are missing out.

Join our free training

If you work with children and their families you can register your interest to join one of our free training sessions. We’ll be holding sessions online, but we can also come to you! If you’ve got a team meeting coming up, we can join and give you and your colleagues more information about Healthy Start.

Register your interest in our Healthy Start training by completing our form https://www.barnardos.org.uk/get-support/services/healthy-start-trainin…] and we’ll be in touch.

One mention of Healthy Start from you could help to improve a family’s health and wellbeing.
