Comprising of Food Active and Healthy Stadia, HEG takes an upstream approach to tackling non-communicable diseases and looks to affect change on a population level but also develops targeted interventions to support the most vulnerable in society.

Food Active is a North West-based healthy weight programme funded by Local Authority Public Health teams.

Food Active offers support to local authorities to promote healthier eating choices,  in particular out-of-home food and drink provision, and policy and planning measures to address the “obesogenic” environment of towns and cities.

Healthy Stadia works with professional sports clubs, league operators, national and international governing bodies of sport to develop their stadia as health-promoting environments. We do this by supporting them to adopt a range of policies and practices in support of the health and wellbeing of fans, staff and local communities.
