Recent research has shown that just under a third of households in Devon with children are experiencing food insecurity, but at the moment, only around half of eligible families are signed up to the government’s Healthy Start scheme, which means many are missing out on much needed support. If you are pregnant or have children under four years old, you may be eligible to receive financial support towards fruit and veg, pulses, cows’ milk, formula, and also receive free vitamins!
If you think you may be eligible or already receive Healthy Start support, you can sign up for a free fruit and veg box, to be delivered directly to your door along with nutritious and delicious recipes. Along with this promotional box you will also get a guide to making the most of the Healthy Start scheme and information about important changes coming this autumn when the scheme is set to go digital.
