If you would like to learn more about supporting older adults with good nutrition and hydration then we have two different training sessions available throughout 2020:

• Raising the Issue of Malnutrition
• REHIS Eating Well for Older People

We are delighted to announce that we’re supporting a further 24 projects via our Small Ideas, Big Impact Fund!

Each of these projects and initiatives focus on the theme of older adults living well through food and aim to support the prevention, detection and/or treatment of malnutrition.

Earlier in November we welcomed 2 new staff members to the Eat Well Age Well team:

Project Dietitian – Jen Grant @JenGrantRD

Impact & Policy Officer – Tilly Robinson-Miles @TRobinsonMiles

Join the University of Glasgow and Eat Well Age Well on Tues 19th November at the Smith Museum in Stirling for a FREE one-day conference about ageing in place in Scotland.

This is the second year of UK Malnutrition Awareness Week and we hope you’ll join our campaign to encourage us all to have more conversations with the older people in our lives about food, eating & drinking and appetite.

Over the last few months we’ve had the pleasure of starting our visits to the first round of projects supported by our Small Ideas, Big Impact Fund. 23 projects were funded in total and our new Video & image Gallery is now available to showcase each project in action.

We are delighted to launch our Lunch Club Campaign Packs ahead of UK Malnutrition Awareness Week on 14th – 20th October!

Eat Well Age Well officially launched in May 2018 and in the space of one year we have made exciting and significant progress in our campaign to tackle malnutrition in older adults living at home in Scotland.

Just some of our highlights have been launching our training schedule for public and professionals, developing new resources and issuing our first round of grants to 23 projects across Scotland via our Small Ideas, Big Impact fund.
