Are you ready for the next challenge?

Keeping in touch with the healthyliving award

Have you held your healthyliving award for more than two years now, and feel like you are ready for a greater challenge? If so, the healthyliving award plus could be for you.

The healthyliving award plus is a higher level of award, which builds on the healthyliving award and rewards catering establishments that demonstrate a greater commitment to supporting healthier eating.

As an award holder you will already be supporting healthier eating. The plus award takes healthier eating to the next level and incorporates key challenges based on greater provision of healthier food items and making it easier for your customers to eat more healthily.

The key challenges include:

  • • Increasing the provision of healthier items
    • At least 70% of the food served in your establishment must meet specific healthyliving criteria
    • In each section of the menu, more than half the items must meet healthyliving criteria
  • Encouraging healthier purchasing habits
    • The range of crisps, confectionary and sugary drinks must be kept to a minimum
    • Crisps and confectionary must be removed from point of sale
    • Promotion of non-healthyliving items must be avoided

A wide variety of businesses have achieved the plus award, so why not challenge yourself? You can apply online through the member’s area of the website, or contact us for an application pack.
