​
The primary focus of Felicitous Foodology is to help meet one of the most pressing public health challenges we face in the UK with our School-Based Intervention programme, aimed at years 3, 4, 5 and 6.
The statistics of our childhood population is a significant concern as it's a strong predictor of adult obesity. It is one of the most unmet challenges in our society, with 1 in every 5 children leaving primary school obese.
Very little is in place for preventing and controlling obesity in our schools.
In 2014 government policy made it compulsory for cooking and food education in the national curriculum, with no specific intervention programme.
We understand primary schools do not have the time or capacity to implement another subject into their already full curriculum.
Our programme has removed the time restraints of this problem because the programme fits into the core framework of PSHE objectives addressing health and wellness.
No teaching required, no PPA, no additional training in nutrition.
​
The programme provides a cost-effective, quality provision in relation to healthy weight and wellness advice.
At present we are working with teachers to develop suitable KS 1 learning material for reception, years 1 and 2 classes which will form the spine of PSHE requirements for health and physical wellness throughout all year groups in primary schools.
Making sure that children of all ages are equipped with the knowledge of how to eat a healthy balanced and sustainable diet throughout their lives.
​
The secondary focus of Felicitous Foodology, is working within our community, partnering with councils and organisations to teach nutrition and cookery to adults.
We have worked with Essex Council and are currently working in partnership with CHP the largest not-for-profit housing association in Essex.
Providing a funded free 5 week cookery and nutrition programme
' The Daily Dietary Dish '
For adult CHP tenants that runs throughout the year.
And HAF programmes for CHP children.
​
Ensuring future generations live life well.
