🧠❤ Susan from our training team has been over on the Isles of Scilly this week, delivering a Mental Health Champion Course at the Carn Gwaval Wellbeing Centre on St Mary’s.

✅ It was fantastic to meet staff from Park House Care Home, Hairdressers, Adult Social Care, Volunteer Coastguard and Five Islands Academy to talk about how they can support people with their Mental Health on the Islands, as well as how to think about their own wellbeing.

🗣 We also talked about the uniqueness of the Islands and how this contributes to the potential challenges of living and working on the Islands.

🔁✅ This we’re sharing quick, simple and healthy snack swaps to try with your children and the whole family.

🥭🍍 Dried fruit products concentrate the natural sugars and calories in fruit – meaning there are more of these per 100g than in fresh fruit options.

🫐🍓 So why not……swap out fruit winders or fruit yo-yos ➡️ and have a handful of fresh berries instead.

👇 What are your child’s favourite berries? 👇

🧒🤸 Snacking is a big part of a child’s daily routine; but many popular snack options are high in sugar, salt and fat without providing the vital nutrients kids need as they grow.

Healthy snacks can:
✅ Provide the vitamins and minerals to support your child's growth
💧 Provide a chance for hydration
🍽️ Keep children from feeling too hungry and prevent overeating at mealtimes

This we’re sharing some quick, simple and healthy snack swaps you can try with your family. Take a look through our recent posts for more information and keep your eyes peeled for more simple swaps to come soon.
