👋 Welcome to the NNF volunteer team, Chelsea!

We’re so excited to have Chelsea join us as an all-rounder volunteer. She’s passionate about improving access to nutritious, sustainable food and believes everyone deserves the chance to enjoy nourishing meals that help communities thrive — a perfect fit for our mission.

Chelsea holds a Bachelor of Nutrition Science and brings hands-on experience from the fitness world, where she spent five years as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor supporting people to move joyfully and eat intuitively. She later worked as an Infant Hearing Screener, adding even more depth to her community-focused skillset.

Outside of volunteering, she’s happiest in the kitchen cooking or baking sourdough (enjoyed warm with butter!), spending time with her dogs, pilates, reading or picking up a crochet project.

Thank you for volunteering your time with us, Chelsea!

Ricky and Andie recently attended the Monash Health Promotion Awards, a fantastic event celebrating the people and programs driving community health and wellbeing.

Ricky proudly represented the Healthy Eating Advisory Service, delivered by National Nutrition Foundation, and presented the Healthy Eating Priority Award to Holy Family Catholic Primary School Doveton. 👏

The school was recognised for creating an inclusive, hands-on environment where students grow and cook their own produce, achieving four “Bites” through the Vic Kids Eat Well framework and partnering with Myuna Farm to expand their garden space. 🌱
