North Glasgow Youth Food Guidelines and Healthy Eating Toolkit

3 - 4 North Glasgow Youth Food Guidelines and Healthy Eating Toolkit
OUR NORTH GLASGOW
YOUTH FOOD GUIDELINES:
These have been developed to tackle your key food issues identified
by the consultation:
• Access to healthy food
• Cost and convenience of unhealthier options
• Lack of cooking skills and the opportunity to try new things
• Concern over the amount of junk food you eat and the health
risks of this
1. Young people should be involved in decisions around what
food and drink is available
2. Tuck shops should have healthy options, including
access to water
3. Cookery classes and/or taster sessions should be made
available where possible
4. Healthy food should be promoted, e.g. posters and
information on sugar contents of tuck shop items
5. Games and activities around nutrition should be used regularly
to help young people learn about healthy eating
6. Space to grow your own fruit and vegetables should be made
available where possible
The following information and activities in this toolkit aim to support
you to implement these guidelines in your youth organisation.
