ScotGov minister witnesses work of the SGF’s Healthy Living Programme
PUPILS at an Edinburgh primary school were joined by ScotGov public health minister Jenni Minto at a recent big breakfast event held by the SGF’s Healthy Living Programme (HLP).
During her visit to Colinton Primary, Minto said: “I was very pleased to see first-hand the fantastic effect the programme is having in our local communities to support and encourage people to make healthier choices.”
Programme director Kathryn Neil said: “Our outreach involving youngsters and primary schools is a core part of changing habits and highlighting the importance of a healthy diet.
“HLP has now spoken to over 25,000 pupils through its events.”
Luke McGarty, SGF’s Head of Policy and Public Affairs, added: “We want to thank Dennis Williams and his team from Premier Broadway Store in Oxgangs for providing the healthy produce, showing just how important c-stores are for their communities.”
