Many people start a diet in January and something people often try to work on is reducing sugar intake. The NHS Live Well site has plenty of ideas on how to cut down, recipes and information on daily recommended amounts.

To support our residents with reducing sugar intake, Wellbeing for Life is working with some primary schools across Coventry and Warwickshire on a pilot to become 'Sugarsmart'. By signing up to the Sugarsmart pledges and working with children and families, we can tackle healthy eating and oral health in a fun and interactive way that will have longer lasting effects.

You can sign up to Sugarsmart as an individual, community group, education setting or workplace and if you are a primary school interested in joining our pilot scheme, please contact josouthan@warwickshire.gov.uk for more details.
