Fit to feast
5 week course for older people linking easy exercise to eating. 2 hours per week; 1st week assessment eg BMI BP etc Taught chair based exercises that they can do at home throughout the 5 weeks and beyond. Also 1 hour healthy eating and tasting session provided by CNAs includes their regular session re salt sugar, 5 a day, cooking for 1 how to read labels. Approx 12 people per 5 weeks. These are popular and appear a good way to get the messages over, understanding food labels is important info for this age group and causes much interest. Organised and funded by HCC costs only include room hire approx £10/hour and food costs approx £5-10 pper session. Session works well because there is a specific focus to each session and lively debate and ideas sharing are encouraged not just info giving sessions.

Opportunity to share fears which are legitimised by other people in the group, which staff can then give appropriate solutions; Detailed local knowledge of staff means that specific answers can be given or n/c investigated further; Interactive fun and lively events stick in the mind and we have found that people will then act on suggestions that they have heard when they get home.opportunity to share fears

Families for 5 a day
Initial work undertaken in Chopwell to ascertain what might encourage parents with young children to eat 5 a day of fruit and veg. Investigated what people currently eat, the range of F & V taken and then over 5 weeks showed them how to prepare and cook simple recipes to extend their repertoire of meals that they can cook. Also used this to build social capital by bringing this group together and promoting other groups locally for parents and toddlers etc. key finding people need to see things prepared and made, taste it and be given the recipe. Recipes alone did not get people cooking at home. Positively evaluated and the learning from this has been developed into a 5 week course with CNAs and Gateshead college cooking skills dept. next 5 week course starts 11th sept in Springwell. Based on the learning from this further courses will be set up.

Birtley Villas & Lansbury Drive lunch clubs for older people
A once a week lunch club in each venue set up (inc start up costs) funded by the HCC but managed and run by the older people themselves, residents of the sheltered housing and other older people who live near by get together once a week for a meal. They decide the (healthy) menu for the following week and meet up socially whilst sheltered housing warden and home care coo the meal. This saves Home care time as it prevents the need for MOW and Home care cooking for individual residents. All food purchased nearby boosting the local economy.

Both very popular, Birtley villas was at full capacity when I last spoke to someone about it. Home care staff very pleased with it and staff able to vocalise the positive Empowerment of older impact that this had had on older people to organise & run - frail people with poor appetites. n/c not a service for them Lansbury drive started as a soup club at the request of the residents but have now extended to full meals. They residents have also used club funds to buy a new freezer.

Set up following the success of the Whickham club based at Highfield community centre once a week lunch club 10.30-1.30 for local people with dementia ( attendees selected by older peoples mental health team generally those who are do not yet need full day care or who are unwilling to access a large day centre for people with dementia often used as a stepping stone to day care. Approx 6-8 people with dementia and volunteers who meet socially and choose next Supported Lunch weeks menu/ have fun etc and home care staff club for people who cook the food all supported and supervised with dementia by older people mental health. Set up and Highfield currently funded by Highfield Healthy communities collab. Volunteers have received a training package from mental health and a food hygiene course. Current funding via HCC includes room hire, transport and volunteer food costs. however this cannot be maintained in the longer term so we are looking to establish the group as an association ( through partnership office and economic development) so that they can apply for charitable grants etc Recently built in the grounds of the community centre. Led by the local church group and development undertaken as a direct result of the visit of NE1 (a local church event for youth groups world wide). Funding obtained from many different sources to complete the garden including HCC. Transformed waste ground into a play area for toddlers a sitting area for adults and raised vegetable beds etc for the youth group to cultivate Since starting my support work with the forum at the end of last year, it is clear that forum members were interested not only in listening to local people's views on health and social care issues but in helping them to voice them. At the moment I am working with the forum members to build links with Gateshead Carer's association with the view to further promoting the voice of carers in health and social care provision.

What was really interesting about this project was how a range of different groups pulled together to make this happen and is an excellent example of the benefits of social capital
too soon to assess outcomes but hope it will demonstrate horticulture skills and interests in youths
