For week 3 of our #EWAWChat we want to hear your views and experiences on why investing in the community is vital in helping to support older people to eat well, age well and live well.
How to Get Involved
The EWAW Twitter Chat will take place on Wed 2nd Dec from 4pm – 5pm All you need to do to get involved is simply to follow us @EatWellScot and/or the hashtag #EWAWChat.
We will post a question every 10 minutes and you can tweet your replies by starting them with A1., A2., etc. – don’t forget to use the hashtag #EWAWChat otherwise we won’t see your messages.
Here’s a preview to the 5 questions we’ll be asking if you want to prep your answers in advance:
Q1. Why is investment in community initiatives important for older people to eat well, age well & live well?
Q2. Share an example of a community initiative that you feel has done great work to address social isolation & malnutrition through food
Q3. If you’ve been supported through our Small Ideas, Big Impact fund, what impact has this had for your organisation and the older people you work with?
Q4. There’s a strong link between social isolation and malnutrition in older people. Why is the third sector vital in tackling this issue?
Q5. Why should government prioritise funding for community food initiatives for older people and what would the impact be for the long term?
