Capability Scotland’s West Lane Gardens Resource Centre is a day centre that offers leisure and educational opportunities to adults with learning disabilities. Louise Murray, Support Worker, first heard about the award through the award’s Real Radio campaign. We asked her about her experience of working towards and achieving a healthyliving award.

  • A. We wanted our service users to have more knowledge and information about healthier foods and to make better and cleverer food choices.
  • Q. Has working towards and achieving the award been worthwhile?
  • A. It has helped our service users be more informed about how healthy the food they eat is.
  • Q. Would you recommend the healthyliving award to other caterers?
  • A. Yes, it has been very useful to us and I think it will benefit others.
