The awards were jointly presented by Dr John Linnane, director of public health at Warwickshire Public Health, and Food for Life local programme manager Bret Willers.

Dr Linnane said: “Healthy eating is just one contributor to reducing the risk of disease in later life. The Food for Life programme is more than just the food on the plate – it has you cooking, growing food and understanding where food comes from. These aspects of the programme lead to far wider health outcomes than simply healthy eating – they extend into keeping you physically fit, having fun, socialising and improving positive wellbeing and relationships.”
