Healthyliving award plus is available now The healthyliving award plus is a higher level of award, which rewards catering establishments that demonstrate a greater commitment to supporting healthier eating. If you feel that you are committed to healthier catering and are doing more than is required for the healthyliving award, then the healthyliving award plus may be for you. To be eligible to apply, you must have held the healthyliving award for a full 2-year term, thus demonstrating a clear commitment to supporting healthier eating. The award is free and is open to all businesses that have held the healthyliving award for a full 2-year term. To achieve the healthyliving award plus there are certain conditions that you must meet. The criteria are challenging, yet practical and achievable. To achieve a healthyliving award plus you must increase the provision of healthyliving choices from fifty to seventy percent of the food served, and these must make up at least half of each menu section. You must also increase the promotion of healthyliving choices and avoid the promotion of non-healthyliving items. In addition there are other new criteria to help you further reduce the amount of fat, salt and sugar in the food you provide. When you achieve the higher level of award you will receive a special certificate for display in your establishment and you will be listed as a plus award holder on the website. If your current healthyliving award is approaching the end of its 2 year term the healthyliving award team will contact you to invite you to renew your award. You will have the option at this stage to apply for the healthyliving award plus, or you may opt to apply at a later date. Caterers who have already renewed their award may apply at any time. Of course you may opt to renew your award at the standard level, which is in itself an admirable achievement, but if you would like to aim even higher, the healthyliving award plus offers a fresh challenge. If you are eligible you can register here, or contact the healthyliving award team on 0141 226 5261 or email enquiries@healthylivingaward.co.uk. |
