Bromley Healthy Families (360G-CheshireCF-A447720)

Healthbox CIC specialise in community health & wellbeing projects. For this project, Healthbox will team up with Plus Dane Housing to offer a vibrant project aimed at improving the health & wellbeing of vulnerable and disadvantaged families on the Bromley Farm Estate, Congleton. This strong partnership between a CIC and a housing provider will help to pool a range of specialist resources ranging from extensive community project experience to community development approaches. The Bromley Healthy Families project will support parents and their primary school aged children by providing a range of stimulating workshops around healthy eating and healthy lifestyles which in turn will aim to reduce food bank dependency during school holidays (which is prevalent in Congleton), tackle poverty stricken households and enhance wellbeing amongst children and parents. This focused yet holistic approach to family support will make a positive and lasting difference. The funding will enable weekly workshops to take place during the school holidays for a year - including ingredients, professional tutors, recipes, educational materials, training workshops for parents and the purchase of cooking equipment to enable the project to become self-sufficient and parent-led after the 12 month period, leaving a lasting legacy and commitment towards healthy lifestyles.
