Carol Wright (pictured, centre) is Cafe Manager at Support in Mind Scotland’s Charlie Reid Centre, which provides a range of support for adults affected by mental health problems. Carol told us what she thinks of the award and the benefits it has brought.

• Q. What were your main reasons for applying for the healthyliving award?
  
• A. I was in the process of reducing the cafe menu, and after finding out about the award, I decided I would reduce the menu to a healthy option menu. This would provide healthier options for our members and we also thought it would be great for advertising. We also thought the award would demonstrate to our customers our commitment to healthy eating and that we care about purchasing fresh healthy food for our menu.
• Q. Do you feel working towards and achieving the healthyliving award has been worthwhile?
  
• A. Yes. We have always cooked with fresh ingredients, but never have we received so many compliments about how much our customers have enjoyed their food.
• Q. Would you recommend the healthyliving award to other caterers?
  
• A. Absolutely, not only are we providing healthy food, but sales, customers, profits, and staff motivation have all improved.
