Healthy Lifestyles Education

Educating children on how to develop healthy eating habits and lifestyles remains a core element of the HAPpy programme and we know it can be hard to think of innovative ways to start these conversations with children, encourage them to eat a healthy lunch or incorporate meaningful activities into your delivery.

See the below link for the recording of a bespoke online workshop run BeeZee by Maximus especially for HAPpy providers in July 2025 to give you some ideas:
