How can dietitians get involved in promoting and supporting
the work of The Good Foundation?
We’d like the program to be even more mobile than it is
currently, so we’re going to need to think about a national
presence. I’ve got some very, very good teams, but by no means
from a volunteer basis do I have enough to cover the country.
I would absolutely love to hear from people who would like to
get involved.
Many people have applied to be facilitators for Jamie Oliver’s
Learn Your Fruit and Veg program. The schools will absolutely
love it, because it’s not asking anything more from them. Then
we can roll that program out nationally. That would mean we
need a lot more facilitators. We would accredit them, and match
them with the schools that they live near – and then really they’re
up and away. That would be fantastic.
Also, Prof. Helen Truby published a fantastic paper on creating
long-term change in adolescents, and she absolutely proved
that it did. I want to go even younger now, to really prove this –
and to give governments what they really need, which is: does it
work, and what does it need in order to be successful? I’d love to
hear from dietitians who are working in this space.
