Nestlé and 4Children launch innovative programme to improve teenage health
In light of escalating concerns over young people’s health, national children’s charity 4Children and Nestlé UK have launched Make Space for Health, a programme of teenage health advice and activity to be delivered in youth centres.
Make Space for Health was developed following the startling revelation from the Make Space youth consultation that 60% of teenagers do not know where to go to access health advice. With new findings from the World Health Organisation stating that in England only 9% of 15 year old girls undertake recommended levels of exercise and only 33% of boys eat fruit daily , the programme provides a practical programme of community health education for young people.
Make Space for Health aims to help young people who may not have access to health support in more traditional health or school settings and is being developed with the support of an advisory panel of academic, health and Government experts including renowned health columnist Dr Miriam Stoppard. It will be launched as a pilot in three Government pathfinder areas: York, Essex and Leeds, before a nationwide roll-out in July 2009.
