Small actions, big difference 💪

Here are a few simple ways to help prevent malnutrition:
✅ Offer small, frequent meals instead of three large ones
✅ Keep hydrated — water, tea, soups, and milk all count!
✅ Make food colourful, varied, and appetising
✅ Eat together — social mealtimes boost appetite and mood

We all have a part to play in supporting good nutrition and wellbeing. Let’s continue to Ask, Look, and Listen every day 💙

Did you know?
👉 It is estimated there are about 3 million people who are malnourished in the UK at any time.
👉 Simple steps like offering snacks, hydration reminders, or sharing mealtimes can make a big impact.

At GoodOaks Edgware & Finchley, our carers are trained to spot the signs early and encourage positive eating habits that support wellbeing and recovery.

Let’s keep the conversation going — because no one should face malnutrition alone 💚

We’re proud to support UK Malnutrition Awareness Week! 💙
17th–23rd November 2025

Good nutrition is vital for maintaining health, strength, and independence — especially as we age. This week, we’re joining BAPEN and the Malnutrition Task Force to raise awareness and start conversations about eating and drinking well in later life.

💬 Ask, Look, Listen
If you notice a loved one or client losing weight, skipping meals, or losing interest in food, take a moment to ask, look for changes, and listen with care.

Together, we can make a difference.

✨ It’s !
Hold the door, share a smile, check in on someone, or compliment a stranger’s shoes (seriously — it works every time 😄).
Kindness isn’t random… it’s a lifestyle 💫
