What we do
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 and pregnant women 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.
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 30-minute 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.
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.
