Healthy Weight Declaration

In April 2017, Blackburn with Darwen signed up to Food Active’s Declaration on Healthy Weight.

The Healthy Weight Declaration adopts a whole systems approach to promoting good health and well-being in communities.

We advocate for healthy weight environments. We will support initiatives towards this, review our policies and practices and regularly assess their impact. We will work with our partners to promote and support our communities in maintaining a healthy weight.

“I started to focus on the quality of food I was eating and when I was eating. Doing the programme has made me more aware of the content of my food – I’ve picked up more on hidden sugars and additives.”
