Lets Get Cooking
Businesses are part of the solution in fighting health inequalities. They are helping young people, their families, employees and the wider community to understand the importance of a good diet and how to cook healthy meals.
Companies signed up to the Let's Get Cooking programme can help address the key issues of health, obesity, nutrition, education, skills and employability.
