The Foodtalk vitamin D project, funded with a grant from the Feeding for Life Foundation, has won a British Nutrition Foundation award.
This year's grant scheme is open for applications from early years practitioners, health visitors, practice and community nurses, and others.
The Foodtalk project has so far provided training and resources to more than 100 staff in early years settings and children’s centres to support them to raise awareness of the importance of Vitamin D in their work with families.
Verena Trend, co-founder of Foodtalk said, ‘The Feeding for Life Promoting Best Practice grant gave us the opportunity to enter a borough and establish key and influential partnerships, create bespoke training services and increase the knowledge and awareness of staff working within early-years settings. Everyone in Croydon is talking about vitamin D. Winning this award highlights the positive impact of the project and the need for similar awareness programmes in other communities.’
