Aims

• To improve the health of families in East Devon, South Somerset and West Dorset particularly, but not exclusively, by the provision of appropriate education on healthy eating.
• To improve knowledge of good quality local food producers and suppliers.
• To improve access to good quality food - local where possible.

HALFF is a registered Charity. 

How HALFF works

We run free monthly cookery demonstrations in Axminster and Chard for parents of babies and toddlers. These provide information on healthy eating, sensible shopping and local food producers. We also provide a free lunch after the sessions, so that parents can enjoy the food with their children. The cookery sessions will ensure that people can translate their knowledge into cooking healthy food for their families. We are working closely with health visitors and GPs in Axminster to ensure that we complement their activities.

With the help of parents, we are developing health promotion materials, this website and a recipe book. All parents attending are given material to take home so that they can continue to develop their skills.

HALFF works closely with local producers and suppliers to provide parents with information about local food.
