However, a fabulous new Health Improvement Team has launched so to keep up-to-date please like and share their page.

Best wishes,
Food and Health Team

The Health Improvement Team is passionate about improving people’s health and wellbeing and reducing health inequalities in Bolton with a particular focus on ensuring every child is given the best start in life.

With Christmas just around the corner, why not try these super strawberry santas to help you on your way to one of your five a day!

1. Rinse the strawberries and cut around the top
2. Remove the top but keep them as these are used for Santa's hat
3. Add 200g low fat cream cheese, 2tsp icing sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract into a mixing bowl and beat until creamy
4. Add the cream cheese mix to a piping bag. Pipe the mixture to the top of the base of the strawberry and add two small buttons to the front
5. Add a small amount of the mixture to the top of the strawberry and place the tops back on. Decorate with poppy seeds as eyes smile emoticon:-)
