The Food & Health Project:
Promoting Healthier eating in the Midlands

The Food and Health project was a joint initiative between Westmeath Community Development and the HSE Midlands Area.

The project was originally set up in 1999 and provides nutrition education courses targeted at groups in the community that are cooking on a budget.

From January 2023, the Food and Health Programme is being managed by Athlone Family Resource Centre.
