Project Aim
Research has shown that children under 12 years of age are already exhibiting risk factors relating to heart disease, highlighting the need to provide health interventions for young people and their families at an early age. The school setting is an ideal place to provide these interventions.
The Project
Hearty-BEATS (Better Eating & Activity Through Schools) is a project which helps primary schools run activities promoting healthy hearts and lifestyles to pupils and their family members. This will be achieved through a variety of activities addressing healthy food withing the school setting and at home, cooking skills, urban farming, physical activities, and the offer of health checks to family members.
Management
Middlesbrough Environment City is the lead organisation for the project and is managing the project on behalf of Middlesbrough Council’s Public Health Team.
